Subject: [ath9k-devel] Performance degradation when monitor mode interface
	is created

Hello,

In our experiments, we use iperf to saturate the wireless link. When we 
create the monitor mode interface on the "sender" client the throughput 
drops to 25Mbps from 29Mbps. The throughout is not affected if the 
monitor mode interface is created on the receiver client through. we 
have tried various versions of ATH9K but we observed the same behavior, 
Why the monitor mode interface on the sender client affects the 
throughput? Is this a bug? We are almost sure that this is not a 
performance limitation of our clients.

Thank you,
Ali Abedi
