Thanks Thomas. TP> With wireless-testing HEAD (671c924) I made the following observations with 3 nodes in a mesh using ch. 149 HT20 on AR9280. 3 nodes may not be enough to see the problem. TP> 1. ping -i0.1 does not cause aggregation to take place, and losses are 0% My tool ping each node (total 7 nodes) at about 10~15 packet/second. Maybe in theory, it should not aggregate. The fact is with/without aggregation, there is a huge difference on ping loss. If you are interested in my test tool, it's here. http://sites.google.com/site/ebaylinkan5709pictures/files-to-share/clinmonitor.gz It's an executable running on any 32-bit Linux. I lost the source code for this tool. Only found the executable in my old machine. TP> 2. a UDP iperf test with two nodes generating traffic shows losses around 1%. We can observe aggregation taking place in this case. For all the kernel versions I have tested, I did not see a problem with two node 802.11s network. Before the stability test, I did fairly extensive on two-node throughput tests and did not any problem on overnight test. 150 ~ 220 Mbps TCP throughput (varied on different atheros 11n chipsets) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
