This paper evaluates throughput characteristics of a multi-hop network, where a relay node itself has own traffic as well as relays transit traffic. In addition, it also has an individual per-flow scheduling such as weighted round-robin scheme to send transit and own data farther. The best route is determined in terms of various QoS criteria such as total throughput and relay node throughput. Novelty of this paper is that the best route is determined by considering both multi-transmission rate property, performance anomaly as well-known in IEEE802.11 wireless LAN and the scheduling scheme. Evaluation results show interesting characteristics of the network.
