Subject: 802.11: Throughput optimization beyond rate selection

Hello all,
the throughput achieved over a wireless 802.11 network depends on more than the
rate selection. Other parameters are fragmentation threshold, RTS threshold
and the retry limits. Are you aware of a "unified throughput optimization" algorithm
that tries to optimize the whole parameter set instead of just the data rate?

No, do tell...post code as well... :-)
