WI-FI Point-to-Point Links: Performance Aspects of IEEE 802.11a, b, g Laboratory Links

Wireless communications using microwaves are increasingly important, e.g. Wi-Fi. Performance is a very relevant issue, resulting in more reliable and efficient communications. Laboratory measurements are made about several performance aspects of Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11 a, b, g) point-to-point links using two types of access points from Enterasys Networks (RBT-4102 and RBTR2). Through OSI levels 3, 4 and 7, detailed results are presented and discussed, namely: latency, ICMP packet loss, TCP throughput, jitter, percentage datagram loss and FTP transfer rate.
