= Investigating the DCF with Multiple Traffic Flows =

The purpose of the 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) is to allow multiple flows of traffic to contend for a shared wireless medium. In this application note, we investigate how the 802.11 Reference Design behaves when subjected to multiple traffic flows. This note provides a case study on how the WLAN Experiment Framework can be used to control and analyze the performance of the 802.11 Reference Design.

== Requirements ==

To run the code provided in this note, the following requirements must be met:

 * 3 WARP v3 kits
 * [wiki:../../../Changelog#a0.91BetaRelease 802.11 Reference Design v.91 Beta]
