Re: [Madwifi-users] Parametres EDCA

[Michael R. <ma...@no...>]

Hi.

Questions like this should be asked in madwifi-devel, since it's more
likely to get answers there.

What kind of information are you looking for?

> Is it an optimal configuration ??

It might be, I'm not sure. If you have evidence that these values should
be tuned for a better result, let us know.

> And why we can make a different configuration for the AP and Station ???

Because that's two different modes of operation. Is there anything that
speaks against this approach?

Afaik no.

Any contribution to the project is welcome. But please make sure that the
algorithm is suited to be used in an open source project (for example,
there should be no patent pending or granted to the algorithm).

If you want to contribute code that implements your ideas that would even
be better. The current man-power is concentrated on other aspects of the
driver, and it's not very likely that we can pick up this topic anytime
soon.
