However, there always seems to be an 'upper limit' for the amount of data that can be sent to the AP, for a given data rate. Why isn't all the data sent by BulkSendHelper, given enough time and retransmissions? Thanks, Varun |
Created attachment 2859 [details] TCP (BulkSendApplication) over Wifi I have modified the example "wifi-tcp" to have a single AP and a variable number of Stations, all connected to the AP. Each Station sends 150,000 bytes of information, using BulkSendHelper. All nodes are within range of the AP. In the case of 30 or 40 stations, all the data is received successfully at the AP. However, in the case of 50 stations, 5 stations are unable to send all their data. Even in the event of collisions or buffer overflow at the receiver, and given enough simulation time, shouldn't TCP retransmissions ensure that all the data is received at the AP? The code is attached. Thanks, Varun
