[orbit-user] Sending rate limit for broadcast traffic in wireless communication?

[Haris Kremo]

broadcast it suppose to go with the lowest rate so that all nodes in
the range can hear it

this tells me that you are using 11b and 1Mbps is the rate at which
broadcast is transmitted in accordance to the standard

if you use 11g or 11a you can broadcast at 6Mbps

hope it helps,
