DESCRIPTION
RTS/CTS is designed to prevent collisions due to hidden nodes. You should only
configure RTS/CTS if the possibility of hidden nodes exists on your network and
the "cost" of resending large frames is more than the extra network overhead
involved in the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake.
Enter a value between 0 and 65535. Data with a frame size larger than this value
will perform the RTS/CTS handshake.
If the RTS/CTS value is greater than the Fragmentation value, then the RTS/CTS
handshake will never occur as data frames will be fragmented before they reach
RTS/CTS size.
See Appendix C on page 125
can be sent.
A large Fragmentation Threshold is recommended for networks not prone to
interference while you should set a smaller threshold for busy networks or
networks that are prone to interference.
