multicast-data-rate

Identifies the speed that you want to support for multicast traffic. The faster the transmit speed, the shorter the coverage area at that speed. For example, an Access Point with a 802.11b 11 Mbit/s Radio Card can communicate with clients up to a distance of 375 feet in a semi‐open environment. However, only clients within the first 165 feet can communicate at 11 Mbit/s. Clients between 165 and 230 feet communicate at 5.5 Mbit/s. Clients between 230 and 300 feet communicate at 2 Mbit/s; and clients between 300 to 375 feet communicate at 1 Mbit/s.
