Not exactly an answer to the question.

I found following pages very helpful when three years ago I
challenged myself with Flent to measure WiFi network performance
and max it out with network devices I had at hand at the time.
<br>
<br>
(One ap blew up it's two capasitors. Visually and operationally
the ap was working as normal but measurements showed drastic drop
in performance. Light odor and inspection of el-capasitor burned
tops did confirm the hard to believe experience.)

Experience showed up Flent's feature to compare data sets very
educating and powerfull, not only with the box-plot chart as the
pages show. Took time to get mentaly bend to read and interpret
the Flent charts instead of only numbers I was used to with iperf
and other tools.
<br>
<br>
In my quest I did a change, measured it, compared to the previous
set and reviewed, if the change showed any measurable effect.
Finally I compared the sets of the very first and the last. I was
totally driven by measurements on my way myth busting many my
beliefs for a performant network.
<br>
<br>
The quest changed my definition for "getting max out of a
network". Now the max is all quantities in effect at any time:
fairness, lowest possible latency and highest possible bitrate.
Looking at many published benchmarks today, I still think, max
seams to mean just a maximum bitrate and other qualities are
_supposed_ to derive from it.
<br>
<br>
Hope this is for any help.
