A high-density municipal arena capture shows A-MSDU frames carried inside A-MPDU aggregates. What should the throughput analysis conclude?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Think packing peanuts (A-MSDU) inside a shipping pallet (A-MPDU). Seeing both nested means the arena link is using combined aggregation—not a broken decoder. Read efficiency with that nesting in mind.
Full Explanation
802.11 allows A-MSDU aggregation of MSDUs and A-MPDU aggregation of MPDUs, including A-MSDU MPDUs inside an A-MPDU. Captures that show this nesting reflect combined aggregation strategies that improve efficiency but change retransmission and error-impact behavior. Advanced throughput analysis must recognize nesting rather than treating every aggregate as a flat A-MPDU of simple MSDUs.
