I am using ns3 tool to generate experimental 802.11n Traffic.
The traffic is generated having the following characteristics:
1. Application Packet Size is :1400 Bytes
2. Transport Layer: UDP
3. MPDU aggregation: Enabled
4. MSDU Aggregation: Disabled
Each generated packet has RadioTap Header associated to it. The RadioTap Header
includes A-MPDU Status Flag which states whether MPDU aggregation is enabled or
not. However, Wireshark seems to not able to decode the frames correctly if
MPDU aggregation is enabled.
Please find the attached file. From the file you can see that I have wrong
frame type. So instead of being QoS Data Type frames, they are interpreted as
Disassociate frames. The reason is wireshark does not escape the 4 bytes
followed by the Wifi MAC Header. These four bytes corresponds to the MPDU
Delimiter defined by 802.11 Standard.
