    4949As a first cut, we establish the best-case performance for each backlogged flow by running a series of experiments with only on flow enabled at a time. To do this, we use the WLAN Experiment Framework to reset the nodes, set the PHY rate, and then start locally generated traffic from the nodes. The script used for this is provided below in the [#Resources Resources Section].

    5757Each flow, on its own, is capable of achieving ~14Mbps out of the 18Mbps PHY rate. This is near the theoretical maximum throughput, given the unavoidable MAC overhead of the 802.11 DCF. Each flow in the network sees a high-quality link through the RF cabling and attenuators -- there are virtually no PHY packet losses due to outage.
