wireless fragment_thres
Set the value of the fragmentation threshold.
Fragmentation is a procedure used to subdivide a data packet into smaller packets to enable
efficient use of the wireless bandwidth. This is necessary in order to allow large size packets to
traverse the network with constraints on maximum packet size.
Throughput will generally be lower for fragmented packets, since the fixed packet overhead will
consume a higher portion of the bandwidth.
SYNTAX:
wireless fragment_thres fragment_thres = <number{256-2346}>
fragment_thres A number between 256 and 2346 (bytes).
Indicates the threshold above which a packet should be
fragmented before transmitting it over the WLAN.
By default the fragmentation threshold is 2346 bytes.
