No. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the maximum throughput it a
function of the radio and not the OS (Karlnet in this case). Maybe I'm
wrong?
No that is not the case on figuring overhead. I ran for many years on a
single T1 with hundreds of dial-up customers. Many connected at the same
time. You would get in to trouble if they all started doing a big FTP
download all at the same time. But, assuming they did... TC would handle it
MUCH better than standard 802.11 because of super-packet encapsulation and
polling.
