Interrogating DockLINK for Performance Information
Performance is a combination of speed and accuracy. When the DockLINK transmits at higher rates, and
retransmits packets fewer times, it has a higher rate of performance. Most users discover performance issues
when sending large files from one node to another.
Although multiple users can send information at the same time, lower shared network resources can cause slower
file transfer time. While data packets are being transferred, available network resources shared by all users
decrease, so when the DockLINK finishes the job faster, increased shared network resources are made available
for other packet transfers, making files transfer faster.
One adjustment might require the relocation of a station antenna to improve signal strength. Another adjustment
might be filtering unnecessary packets to disallow passage into the wireless network. This type of fine-tuning is
intuitive, and one can determine actions based upon statistics found in the following pages.
