Subject: [ath9k-devel] Very large datagram loss
Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2012 19:37:12 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4FD94E58.4070503@ahmct.ucdavis.edu> (raw)

Hi,

I am experiencing very high datagram loss between two identical cards 
communicating over a single spacial stream in adhoc mode. Using 
minstrel_ht rate control the tx bitrate settles at MCS7 150Mbps, and I 
get the following iperf results.

# iperf -c 192.168.11.2 -p 7777 -u -b 150m -t 10 -i 1

When I set minstrel_ht to fixed_rate MCS7 I get the following iperf results.

# iperf -c 192.168.11.2 -p 7777 -u -b 150m -t 10 -i 1

[  3]  0.0-10.2 sec  1 datagrams received out-of-order

In either case the overall throughput and datagram loss percentages are 
terrible. I believe overall the datagram loss should be less than a few 
percent.

Any ideas how I can determine where the packets are getting lost?

Thanks,

-Stephen
