Worked example

Inputs

PHY payload rate
100 Mbit/s
Payload per frame
1000 bytes
Frames per second
2000 frames/s
Fixed per-frame overhead
100 microseconds

Expected results

Estimated airtime utilization
36 %

How to use this tool

  1. Enter phy payload rate, payload per frame, frames per second, fixed per-frame overhead in the displayed units.
  2. Calculate the scenario, then compare it with measurements before changing a system.

Try this example

{
  "rate": 100,
  "bytes": 1000,
  "pps": 2000,
  "over": 100
}

Accuracy and scope

Simplified airtime accounting; actual PHY framing, contention, ACKs and retries must be reflected in supplied overhead.
