Information:
For the configuration of P2P connections between LANCOM single-radio access points used in P2P and WDS scenarios, LANCOM Systems recommends that you do not exceed a maximum number of three chained P2P connections in the interest of trouble-free operations.
The following illustration shows a scenario that ensures trouble-free operation. A maximum of 4 LANCOM single-radio access points are used, which are connected by a maximum of three P2P connections.
All P2P connections work on the same radio channel, so no more than three connections can be operated on this channel.
LANCOM Systems does not recommend any scenario with more than three chained P2P connections.
With each additional single-radio access point and P2P connection—not just as an extension of the chain, but also as a branch—the load on the radio channel is increased.
When using single-radio access points, each hop effectively halves the data throughput.
Further, each additional access point operated on this channel increases the probability of collisions due to the hidden station problem, which can fundamentally affect the performance of the WLAN.
What's more, any additional WLAN clients associating with the access points place further significant load on the channel. |
