Performance with More Clients

In all the experiments so far, we have not used more than 12 clients. Since we have deployed 24 DAPs, it is important to consider the performance of the system with more clients. To do this, we extend the experiment described earlier to use up to 24 clients. We use all 24 DAPs, and 8 channels. The upload and download throughputs are shown in Figure 17. We see that the per-client throughput gradually decreases with increasing number of clients. This shows that DenseAP system can gracefully handle the extra load.
