Q: What is the maximum transfer rate of Airdrop?
I'm a computer science student,and I'm very new to the networking stuffs.I'm not sure whether my question is strange or not. Please, help me if you know the answer.
Since Airdrop based on Ad hoc approach, one computer will directly establish the link to another computer. (Right?)My question is that what is the maximum capacity of the (wireless) link between 2 computers? Is it up to 300 Mbps since it supports 802.11n or is there any factors that affect the capacity?
I've done some experiments that is sending multiple size of files to my friend using Airdrop for multiple times and calculate the throughput.The average speed from the experiment is around 30-50 Mbps.I want to know the maximum capacity of the link so that I can use it to compare with my result.
Thank you
