Abstract :
This paper presents preliminary quantitative results from data collected during runs of our multi-hop wireless ad hoc network testbed. The network successfully carried a composite workload including voice, bulk data, and real-time data. Careful analysis of recorded runs highlights radio propagation issues that network protocols will need to address in the future
