Adrian, The IEEE 802.11abg radio model knows nothing of the underlying protocols associated with the traffic it transmits. The PCR curves apply to all inbound over-the-air traffic.
In emane, the transport layer is responsible for mapping message destinations to NEM addresses. The virtual transport does this by mapping ethernet mac addresses to NEM Ids. All ethernet frames become opaque data at the point they are sent downstream to the radio model. The default IEEE 802.11abg curves use pktsize="128" to adjust POR based on packet size: https://github.com/adjacentlink/emane/wiki/IEEE-802.11abg-Model#packet-completion-rate -- Steven Galgano Adjacent Link LLC www.adjacentlink.com On 04/30/2015 04:50 PM, Adrian Granados Murillo wrote: > Hi All, > > I’m emulating an 802.11b/g network (4 nodes) using the IEEE 802.11abg > model and location events.
