Greetings,
I've only subscribed a few days ago to the mailinglist and didn't find a
related post in the archives.
Only recently an implementation of WRR was distributed through the
mailinglist.
So I hoped it's possible to request information on the existance of other
non-standard elements, that were (or could be) made available in a similar
way;
specificaly on the existance of a partial or complete 802.11e EDCA
implementation (compatible with the Madwifi driver).
In the current state of the Click code I did not find support for
802.11eEDCA - I only found a definition of the QoS Data subtype.
On a first glance the needed elements would be (for a limited
implementation)
an alternate version of
BeaconSource <http://www.read.cs.ucla.edu/click/elements/beaconsource>
AssociationRequester<http://www.read.cs.ucla.edu/click/elements/associationresponder>
AssociationResponde<http://www.read.cs.ucla.edu/click/elements/associationresponder>
r
ProbeResponder <http://www.read.cs.ucla.edu/click/elements/proberesponder>
Todevice (skb->priority should be set)
possibly the addition of
ADDTSRequester
ADDTSResponder
DELTSRequester ?
And code to set (add) the QoS Control Subfield to data frames, (possibly in
WifiEncap)
All thoughts and hints on implementing support for EDCA are also welcome.
Kind regards,
Abram Schoutteet
