Throughput calculation for CSMA

Hi,

How can we calculate PHY and  MAC layer throughput as Iperf gives only the application-layer throughput?

Thanks

Re: Throughput calculation for CSMA

iperf in udp mode employs no rate control, so it will measure the throughput of whatever link it uses. You can isolate just the PHY by using a simple MAC (like nomac.c), then use iperf to measure just the PHY throughput.
