Effect on RTT and throughput
- Ack filtering decreases the chances that the peer radio is busy, so backoffs are less frequent
- 2 wireless hops
- Reno: mean RTT = 2.67 s, std dev = 1 s
- AF: mean RTT = 1.85 s, std dev = 0.6 s
- 25% higher throughput with AF (24 Kbps versus 19 Kbps)
- 3 wireless hops
- 34% higher throughput with AF (17.1 Kbps versus 12.7 Kbps)
