Hi Seeni,
Could you please explain how rts/cts combats
multipath or any other interference (ie not my or other users real
traffic). I thought it was used to tell the far end (AP), and subsequently
other in range clients (by cts) to shut up while I get on with my transmission
and hear the ack. I understood that it temporarily stops real
traffic, useful on a busy contentious system, - not
interference. Efficiency is only improved as collisions are reduced.
Am I missing something ?

The RTS/CTS
adjustment is required ONLY in the CPE devices when there is poor performance
due to MULTIPATH INTERFERENCE and many HIDDEN NODES which will result in
packet loss. Sometimes when we deal with higher interference then we need to
lower down the RTS/CTS values to improve the efficiency in the packet
transmission which avoids the packet loss.
Normally, RTS/CTS adjustment is NOT required in the AP side. RTS/CTS only comes into play when a client is transmitting and it does nothing for the receive traffic.
Kind regards,
Seeni

I am curious what the best values
for a network with 30 bridges per AP, and a 1.5MB backbone would be.
I guess I am not certain if
changing the RTS / CTS values on customer bridges will help in increasing
netork load and capacity.
If you change the RTS / CTS values
on the CPE is is neccesary to change them on the AP?
