Description

 

Fragment Threshold

 

This is the maximum data fragment size (between 256 and 2346bytes) that can be sent

 

 

in the wireless network before the router fragments the packet into smaller data frames.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Request to send (RTS) is designed to prevent collisions due to hidden node. A RTS

 

 

 

defines the biggest size data frame you can send before a RTS handshake invoked. The

 

RTS Threshold

 

RTS threshold value is between 0 and 2347.

 

 

If the RTS threshold value is greater than the fragment threshold value, the RTS

 

 

 

 

 

 

hankshake do not occur. Because the data frames are fragmented before they reach the

 

 

 

RTS size.
