[PATCH 6/7] mac80211: treat minstrel success probabilities below 10% as implausible

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Based on minstrel_ht this patch treats success probabilities below 10% as
implausible values for throughput calculation in minstrel's statistics.
Current throughput per rate with such a low success probability is reset
to 0 MBit/s.
