Subject: bloated vs debloated wireless test (iwllagn <-> wndr5700)
Date: Thu, 03 Feb 2011 08:57:55 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zkqdw1oc.fsf@cruithne.co.teklibre.org> (raw)


I did a little testing of my quick n' dirty wireless patch for the ath9k
on what I have.

The two devices are:

a netgear wndr 5700 running openwrt
a laptop with the iwllagn driver

Connected at 36Mbit, going from the (De-bloated)wndr 5700, using iperf
to saturate the link, ping times ranged from ~2ms to ~4ms.

In the opposite (bloated) direction from the lagn, they peaked at about 140ms.

Under contention (10 streams), I experienced about 4% packet loss on ping.
(I've never been so happy to see packet loss in my life)

The ath9k patch for openwrt - while still far from ideal - is here:

https://github.com/dtaht/Cruft/raw/master/bloat/558-ath9k_bufferbloat.patch

My test rig - which uses the babel protocol to make it easier to move
between routers and routed devices - is described (partially) here:
