Multicast Rate - HP WL520 User Manual

multicast rate multicast rate
The multicast rate measures how quickly information is transmitted across your network. This rate is approximated for a cell,
since physical proximity to the AP increases throughput. Stations closer to an AP actually have higher multicast rates than
stations in the same cell that are located farther from the AP. In addition, a small cell with several stations located close to the
WL520 unit can actually transmit information faster than a larger cell with only a few stations located farther from the WL520
device.
NOTE:
This feature is only applicable to 2.4 GHz (802.11b) cards.

NOTE:
There is an inter-dependent relationship between the Distance between APs and the Multicast Rate. In general, larger
systems operate at a lower average transmit rate.The variation between Multicast Rate and Distance Between APs is
presented in the following table:
