We’re following his presentation at WLPC Prague, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMW6GCfrn7g" target="_blank">Effects of Rate Limiting on Wi-Fi Flow</a>. We ask Troy to go into more detail about rate limiting and the effect it has on Wi-Fi.<br> <br> <br> <br> Effect Of Rate Limiting on Wi-Fi <br> <br> <br> <br> Users often goes around obstacles. What does it mean for guest Wi-Fi with rate limiting? And why are we using rate limiting?<br> <br> <br> <br> Could it be slow Internet pipes, bandwidth hungry users, bandwidth hungry applications?<br> <br> <br> <br> Troy talks about his version of the OSI model:<br> <br> <br> <br> * Layer 8 – Management * Layer 9 – Financial* Layer 10 – Aesthetics Committee<br> <br> <br> <br> Additionally, Troy talks about TCP back off mechanism (window sizes). TCP naturally tries to regulate the traffic for us<br> <br> <br> <br> Other discussion items during the show:<br> <br> <br> <br> * Not disabling high Wi-Fi data rates* Channel Utilization* Configurations guideline* Never tweak MCS rates* Leave high data rates on<br> <br> <br> <br> Links & Resources<br> <br> <br> <br> * <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://twitter.com/troymart" target="_blank">Troy on Twitter</a>* <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMW6GCfrn7g" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Effects of Rate Limiting on Wi-Fi Flow</a><br>
