Abstract :
The importance of wireless communications, involving electronic devices, has been growing. Performance is a very relevant issue, leading to more reliable and efficient communications. Laboratory measurements are made about several performance aspects of Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11 a, g) WEP point-to-point links. A contribution is given to performance evaluation of this technology, using available access points from Enterasys Networks (RBTR2). Detailed results are presented and discussed, namely at OSI layers 4 and 7, from TCP, UDP and FTP experiments: TCP throughput, jitter, percentage datagram loss and FTP transfer rate. Comparisons are made to corresponding results obtained for open links.
