Specific questions from iLab Guidelines • Answer each of the following questions using the sequence and data from the iLab instructions. Answer all questions in full college-level sentences. 1. In your opinion, what is the purpose of our dropping the transmit power to such a low level? In this scenario, we have two access point. A lower voltage will reduce interference and increase capacity. 2. What do access point connectivity statistics collected for the roaming station show? Access point connectivity statistics show that there was a consistent connection within the 30 second interval. It displayed the traffic moving between two nodes in 2 second intervals. 3. What do you think the Wireless LAN control traffic received by the roaming 11b node when it is in the engineering building is composed of? The Wireless LAN control traffic received by the roaming 11b node is composed of data packets when it is in the engineering building. 4. How much did our roaming node reduce the total throughput in our heavily loaded WLAN? Transmission began at around 25,000,000 bits per second. The roaming node entered the engineering side around the 12th second and dropped transmission to 10,000,000. This graphically displayed a loss of 15,000,000 bits per second. When the node was back in the art building (at around 18 seconds) we see the traffic come back to its original 25,000,000 bits/sec transmission. 5. What caused this reduction in “goodput” on the 11g WLAN? The traveling node caused interference on the 11g WLAN thus, reducing the “goodput.” The WLAN consumed some of the band width at the point of reduction. General questions concerning mixing 11b and 11g clients Guidelines: Answer each of the following questions using knowledge gained from the iLab, readings from the textbook, and individual research on the Web.
