[Wirelessdriver-devel] IP Multicast Test Results

[Michael E. <mre...@ho...>]

It looks like IP Multicast is working fine.  I have not spent a lot of time 
testing, but here are my informal results:

I was able to receive IP multicast packets with 100% success at about 40pps 
and 300k packets.
I was able to receive IP multicast packets with 100% success at about 13pps 
and 512k packets.
I was able to receive IP multicast packets with about 99% success at about 
11pps and 1024k packets.

No duplicate packets were detected - so the stack appers to be handling 
everything correctly.
The program uses a very basic serialization to ensure that packet order and 
is maintained (on a LAN only - all bets are off for WAN) and data corruption 
does not occur.

I havn't looked into tuning my AP for IP multicast.  it is currently set to 
only allow 2 meg to be used for multicast.  When I find time, I may try to 
adjust these settings to see what the max is that I can get.

At any rate, it does appear that everything is working.

Thanks!

Mike
