MAN performance measurements and optimization
Dražen Tomić, Drago Žagar, Goran Martinović · International Conference on Telecommunications · 2009
The general parameters that affect the performance of MANs are physical topology and hierarchical model of the network. The performance of each individual link depends on the type and intensity of network traffic that is characterized by the traffic direction (download/upload), the packet size and the number of packets. If MAN links share a common communication medium, as in case of using the EEE 802.11g technology in the point-to-multipoint mode, the overall performance of MAN will be affected. This paper presents the example of MAN made in IEEE 802.11g technology and describes MAN performance optimization based on measurement and parameters analysis.
