Object - by Matthew Gast, author of 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide08/08/2003 (updated: 8/14/2003)Now that the 802.11g standard has been finalized, comparisons with theother standards in the 802.11 family are inevitable. One conclusionthat is frequently drawn is that 802.11g offers similar speeds to802.11a. After all, both products are advertised as having a data rateof 54 Mbps.This article develops a simple model for the maximum TCP throughput of802.11 networks so that a comparison can move beyond a simplecomparison of nominal bit rates. According to the model, 802.11g issignificantly faster than 802.11b. In a network consisting only of802.11g clients, it is even slightly faster than 802.11a. However,"protection" mechanisms added to 802.11g to ensure backwardscompatibility with legacy 802.11b clients can cut the throughput by 50percent or more.http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/wireless/2003/08/08/wireless_throughput.html
