Hello

 

I am testing the PIM-SSM daemon (both freebsd and linux) and mrd6 program in
a wireless link. 

The problem I encountered, with both pim6sd daemon and mrd6, is that I'm
sending multicast traffic at 4 Mbps and the throughput reaches the mobile
node (which is very near from de access point) rounding 40 kbps.

I am using the mad-flute tool to send the multicast SSM traffic and the
tcpdump plus trpr to analyze the data.

 

Anyone knows why the throughput decreases so much in the wireless link? 

 

I would appreciate any help/hint that helps me to explain these results.

 

Thanks.

 

Tiago Sousa
