Hello John, the goal would be to have a transmission as fast as possible while ignoring, if a packet reached its destination or not. I'd like to test wireless performance regarding transmission time in a dedicated environment. As far as I can see, backoff might already push the transmission times up quite a lot and if I'd even add the time of - worst case - 10 retransmissions, the transmission time of one packet will grow even more. It would be second-rank, if the packet reaches its destination. Loss of some packets is not a problem in my testbed. So I'd like to disable usage of ACKs in order to be off with the only problem - backoff. Disabling this would of course be nice, but I fear, that's far more work that just disabling ACKs.
