Does frame-lifetime only apply during on-fail-retry-time (ie after hw-retries * 3 retransmits are exhausted). I currently have hw-retries=2, frame-lifetime=1 (10ms), on-fail-retry-time=100ms, WDS bridge between two ROS boards with XR9's. I need to ensure that no buffering occurs. All traffic through these routers is time critical UDP only, sent at a minimum of 10Hz. This is for a mobile vehicle, where there will be frequent link transients .. buffering can be catastrophic, since most of the UDP traffic is for realtime control .. I can't afford to have data arrive that is too old (>~200ms).
Will this setup ensure that I won't have bursts of data that were buffered during on-fail-retry-time/disconnect-time? I still wish that I could have DSCP mangled frames sent without MAC acknowledgements .. I don't care if it got there, when there's a new one right behind it
Any other pointers on how to ensure that my UDP frames are dropped during a wireless outage and/or congestion (queues?) would be very welcome
Cheers,
Matt
