Laboratory Performance Comparison of Wi-Fi Point-to-Point Links : a Case Study

Wireless communications are increasingly important. Performance is a very relevant issue. Laboratory measurements are made about several performance aspects of Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11a, b, g point-to-point links, using two types of access points from Enterasys Networks. Detailed results are presented and discussed, namely at OSI levels 4 and 7: TCP throughput, jitter, percentage datagram loss, and FTP transfer
