A preliminary run was used as a baseline for each test. That was useful because, if any
throughput test result was below the baseline, that test would be re-run.
Below is a sample IxChariot screenshot of a test of the Cisco 1852i Access Point. Throughput to
each of 30 Multi-User MIMO clients is being measured. This screen shot, which shows the level
of throughput monitoring at the bottom, was taken while the 60-second test was running.

Test Cases
The test cases that were run are detailed in the following sections. In each of them aggregate
downlink throughput for each AP was carefully measured and reported. The test cases are:
The test cases that were run are detailed in the following sections. In each of them aggregate
downlink throughput for each AP was carefully measured and reported. The test cases are:
1. Client Density, Scaling from 10 to 100 Clients
2. Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) vs Single-User (SU-MIMO)
3. Link Aggregation (LAG) for 1+ Gbps Wireless AP Throughput
