Fragmentation threshold
Fragmentation Threshold is the maximum length of the frame, beyond which payload must be broken up (fragmented)
into two or more frames. Collisions occur more often for long frames because sending them occupies the channel for a
longer period of time, increasing the chance that another station will transmit and cause collision. Reducing
Fragmentation Threshold results in shorter frames that "busy" the channel for shorter periods, reducing packet error
rate and resulting retransmissions. However, shorter frames also increase overhead, degrading maximum possible
throughput, so adjusting this parameter means striking a good balance between error rate and throughput.
RTS threshold
RTS Threshold is the frame size above which an RTS/CTS handshake will be performed before attempting to transmit.
RTS/CTS asks for permission to transmit to reduce collisions, but adds considerable overhead. Disabling RTS/CTS
can reduce overhead and latency in WLANs where all stations are close together, but can increase collisions and
