Dear list,
I have a problems to understand whre are the borders of batman-adv.
For exampel if I use enddvices that support 802.n, I will achive a
higher throughput than with 802.g devices.
I tested this in practice.
But what happens if I use devices that support 802.ac ?
Will the throughput also be higher in my network, and would the devices
use beamforming?
I assume that all devices in the network are the same.
Best regrads and thanks for your time
Hannes
Features that control/improve the throughput like beamforming or
rate-control aren't influenced by batman-adv. Those are features inside
the wireless driver. Just between batman-adv and the PHY-Layer in the
network stack.
I might not have enough experience with 802.11ac devices but if you have
a large scale outdoor network with big distances between your nodes
(hundreds of meters to kilometers) there might be not a big difference
between 802.11ac and 802.11n.
But if it's a smaller scale indoor network with lower distances and
lower noise floor there should be a higher throughput with 802.11ac.
Kind regards,
Franz
