MAN design includes elements of LAN and WAN design. A model of MAN design presented in this paper describes a methodological approach to MAN modeling and necessity for single link optimization and link system optimization in case of common communication link sharing. MAN optimization methods are presented using experimental MAN made in IEEE 802.11g technology and a point-to-multipoint operation mode where wireless links share a common communication medium. Results of measurements confirm the influence of communication media sharing as well as the size and the number of packets and a hierarchical MAN network model on MAN throughput.
