The isochronous traffic option is great! I've been playing around with it a bit. I would like to exercise OFDMA a bit - particularly for stuff like voice traffic with lots of short packets of relatively high priority. Previously I've been using ping - some results attached - but I'd really like to do simulated voice or video.
I have a setup with 32 standalone STA's and I'd like to do bi-directional voice like traffic to them in the presence of an independent Wi-Fi interferer and look at a bunch of statistics.
I'm trying to wrap my head around what I would need to do that. I was thinking of an iperf server on each STA with multiple iperf clients on the server machine - that would do the downlink. I was thinking of doing -r, --tradeoff, but that doesn't do simultaneous up and down I think - plus I'm not clear about whether the traffic would be isochronous.
Am I missing something, or do I need to set up an iperf client on each STA as well as the iperf server, and then a set of 32 iperf servers and clients on the server machine?
Any thoughts or guidance would be appreciated.
There's many ways to skin a cat here so-to-speak. I'd probably make use off --reverse and/or --full-duplex on the client and just start one server to handle the 32 clients. These options should work with the --isochronous option though I'm not sure how well tested that is.
