OT wireless question

[Dazed_75]

The wireless interference issues can be significant in some
environments with so many devices today using the 2.4 GHz band.  But I
also seem to recall an issue for highly loaded networks.  Whether in
the wireless or the ethernet portion of the network, once the load
hits around 30% of theoretical capacity, collisions begin rising
rapidly and packet losses begin to rise.

Also, and I am very unsure of this, is it not true that the ping
utility by it's very nature is not using higher level corrections?
IOW, packet losses are probably detected at a higher rate because that
is part of what the utility is intended to see (not correct and
overcome).

Just my two cents.
