<font face="arial" size="3"><p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Umm... given that the WiFi MAC is pretty poor with 1500 byte packets in today's 5 GHz operation, how badly will it work in WiGig?</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">I'd also note that all that bandwidth is great for serial high speed links, but feeding it and handling it when you are transporting typical TCP/IP packets requires aggregating a lot of flows, and thus a pretty hefty amount of fan-out/fan-in multiplexing.</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Again, people obsess about throughput, but aren't considering latency.</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">We'll probably see stuff produced that has the "feature" of huge buffers, with bufferbloat causing much of the capacity to be wasted.</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Or, instead of demand-driven packet switching, just dividing up the capacity into fixed rate "channels" at low rates, like telephone calls.</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">You let the hardware guys focus on the pipes, and the protocols go to shit.</p>
