Wi-Corp Wireless solutions

Router OS Packet Packer Protocol

The wireless protocol IEEE 802.11 have a high overhead per packet because for each packet it is necessary to access the media, check for errors, resend in case of errors, and send network maintenance messages (network maintenance is only for wireless). The Wi-Corp Packet Packer Protocol improves network performance by aggregating many small packets into a big packet, thereby minimizing the network per packet overhead cost. The M3P is useful when the average packet size is 50-300 bytes – the common size of VoIP packets.

Specific Properties:

• It may work on any Ethernet-like media
• It is enabled by default for all new wireless interfaces
• When older version on the C-CLASS are upgraded from a version without M3P to a version with discovery, current wireless interfaces will not be automatically enabled for M3P
• Small packets going to the same MAC level destination (regardless of IP destination) are collected according to the set configuration and aggregated into a large packet according to the set size
• The packet is sent as soon as the maximum aggregated-packet packet size is reached or a maximum time of 15ms (+/-5ms)

Router OS Neighbor Discovery Protocol (MNDP)

The Wi-Corp Neighbor Discovery Protocol [MNDP] eases configuration and management by enabling each Wi-Corp router to discover other connected Wi-Corp routers and learn information about the system and features which are enabled. The Wi-Corp routers can then automatically use set features with minimal or no configuration.

MNDP features:

• works on IP level connections
• works on all non-dynamic interfaces
• distributes basic information on the software version
• distributes information on configured features that should interoperate with other Wi-Corp routers
