Performance Evaluation of Bonding Techniques at Wireless 802.11n
Abstract: Demands for high
throughput bandwidth, encourage Point to Point wireless to serve more bandwidth
for many kind application such as real-time multimedia services. We conduct
research with testbed experimental at Point to Point topology use wireless
802.11n in LAB environment. The aim is to studying the performance that would
be achieved by Interface Bonding and Channel Bonding techniques. We proposed
experiment process and design to evaluate the performance of those techniques.
Several parameters such as delay, jitter, data loss rate and throughput applied
on TCP/UDP protocols with different Packet Sizes and Directional Traffic Flows.
The results experiment showed that Channel Bonding has significant throughput
improvement. However, the Interface Bonding results are far from expectation,
we found that the performance is least than single normal link. As our finding
we analyze it caused by Media Independent Interface (MII), and Scheduling
Algorithm unable to work properly at wireless 802.11n using Point to Point
connection.
