So when comparing a 1Mbps and a 54Mbps link, probably the TQ for the 54Mbps link will be better than the 1Mbps link.
That was our intuition too, but experiments we did in Brussels using 802.11n multiradio routers, with Benjamin and Juliusz, seemed to show that packet loss (as measured by babel at least) is not always correlated to throughput. I do not claim to understand how this is possible.
How do you define throughput? Do you mean the coding rate the wifi driver has chosen to use, or iperf/netperf measurements of throughput? Also, does babel perform its measurements using unicast or broadcast/multicast packets/frames?
It was in a limited setup, however, and we would be glad to get more results proving or disproving this hypothesis. Do you have any actual experimental results to share on this topic?
I've got no results on 11n. I've done most of my work on 11g. I will see if i've got any results for 11g which might be appropriate.
Maybe
