Performing Extrapolated Link Test
The Extrapolated Link Test estimates the link capacity by sending few packets and measuring link
quality. Once the test is initiated, the radio starts session at the lower modulation, 1X, as traffic is passed
successfully across the link, the radio decides to try the next modulation, 2X. This process repeats until it
finds best throughput to estimate capacity of link.
The procedure for performing Extrapolated Link Test is as follows:
