Hi All
Could someone help me in answering following question on setting and
verifying of TXQ parameters?
1. How can we verify whether the TXQ parameters set in conf file are
properly configured or not?
2. iw scan command doesn't show WMM parameters when non-default TXQ
parameters are set.
I am using mininet-wifi to simulate the test.
Please find my configuration below.
ap1 = net.addAccessPoint( 'ap1', ssid= 'new-ssid', mode= 'g', channel=
'1', position='40,40,0', range=20,
config='tx_queue_data0_cwmin=15,tx_queue_data0_cwmax=1023,tx_queue_data0_aifs=1,tx_queue_data0_burst=1.5)
