Subject: [PATCH 2/4] wifi: mac80211: estimate expected throughput if not provided by driver/rc
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 10:19:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323101954.874299-2-nbd@nbd.name> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260323101954.874299-1-nbd@nbd.name>
Estimate the tx throughput based on the expected per-packet tx time.
This is useful for mesh implementations that rely on expected throughput,
e.g. 802.11s or batman-adv.
