overhead
SolutionThe overhead is dependent on
different variables;
For example,
the amount of client traffic traveling through the AP and the number of
stations that are in listening range of the
AP.
For planning
purposes, overhead is approximately 1% of client traffic on the AP in a
reasonably high-density situation (for example, when 30-40 clients can
be heard by the AP). This is not significant overhead. Additionally,
this overhead will be further reduced in future releases of Meru
software using code optimization.
