Threshold

programmed in this field will be fragmented. The Fragment Threshold value

 

must be larger than RTS Threshold value. The default value for Fragment

 

Threshold is 2346.

 

 

RTS/CTS

The packet size that the wireless node uses to determine if it should use the

Threshold

CSMA/CD mechanism or the CSMA/CA mechanism for packet transmission.

 

With the CSMA/CD transmission mechanism, the transmitting station sends

 

out the actual packet as soon as it has waited for the silence period. With

 

the CSMA/CA transmission mechanism, the transmitting station sends out a

 

RTS packet to the receiving station, waits for the receiving station to send

 

back a CTS packet before sending the actual packet data.
