A remark attributed to Voltaire, notably by S.G. Tallentyre [a nom de plume of E. Beatrice Hall] in The Friends of Voltaire (1907). But Tallentyre gave the words as a free paraphrase of what Voltaire wrote in his Essay on Tolerance: 'Think for yourself and let others enjoy the privelege to do so, too.' So what we have is merely Tallentyre's summary of Voltaire point of view.
Then along comes Norbert Guterman to claim that what Voltaire did write in a letter of February [6,] 1770 to a M. Le Riche was: 'Monsieur l'Abbe, I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write.' So, whether or not he used the precise words, at least Voltaire believed in the principle behind them.
First analysis of performance anomalies of Wi-Fi networks
A first analysis of performance anomalies of Wi-Fi networks (1) was completed by four Network System Software integrators at CNRS's Institut d'Informatique et de Mathematiques Appliquees de Grenoble (IMAG). Martin Heusse, Franck Rousseau, Gilles Berger-Sabbatel, and Andrzej Duda have published the surprising results of their study, on the occasion of the INFOCOM conference in
San Fransisco, one of the most prestigious in the domain of network research. It reveals that
in certain ordinary circumstances, this type of wireless network presents a relatively
penalizing performance anomaly: users that can have better connectivity, and thus, better speed,
are penalized by their use of degraded conditions.
Local wireless networks based on the Wi-Fi standard (IEEE 802.11b) beginning to be deployed in a
relatively large manner and on numerous models of portable computers are from now on
pre-equipped with this type of network card. Experiments aiming to furnish connectivity in
public places, through the intermediary known as "hot spots" (2), are more and more numerous.
The potential number of users is growing rapidly, and first "hot spot" experiments well
advanced. But can Wi-Fi networks handle the load of that number of users, and the required
speed?
In their classic mode of operation, Wi-Fi networks rest on a fixed wired infrastructure.
Wireless access points have relied on a high-speed local network, most often of the Ethernet
type, and make the link between equipment connected by the wireless network and the local
wired network, then to the Internet. Wireless network cards use four different rates of speed
corresponding, in reality, to different techniques of signal modulation which are selected in
function of the quality of the connection at the access point. More simply, a device close to
an access point gets a fast flow, nominally 11 megabits per second (Mbits/s.), then, as it
moves away, it drops to 5.5 Mbit/s., 2 Mbit/s., and finally 1 Mbit/s. as the signal weakens and
degrades.
Here is what Wi-Fi networks can lead to: some users potentially get the highest speed in the
coverage area of an access point, 11 Mbit/s., as they are nearby. A user enters this
coverage area, and, being relatively far away, is now connected at 1 Mbit/s. As he uses the
wireless channel to communicate, that is to say to transmit data, this activity induces a
drop in speed for all the others, bringing the others to a speed apparently identical to his,
or 1 Mbit/s. This same type of observation is valid whatever the values among the four
referred to above; the lowest speed will be observed by all hosts.
This anomaly, inherent in the CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/ Collision Avoidance)
access protocol, defined in the Wi-Fi standard and revealed by the CNRS research team, is
penalizing for network users. Despite a good connection, their apparent performance can be
greatly degraded without their knowledge and in a completely unforeseeable manner, from the
simple fact of the activity of a third host less well connected to the same wireless access
point.
However, despite being perfectly observable on any network of this type, the impact of this
anomaly can be slightly tempered for two reasons. Firstly, by the fact that today most devices
connected to the network use it in a sporadic and non-continuous manner; their periods of
activity, such as downloading a Web page, are relatively short compared to the time spent
reading it; on the other hand, if a long communication is under way - downloading, audio and
video connection for example - it penalizes the users in a continuous manner. A second
attenuating factor lies in higher-level protocols, primarily TCP (3), where internal mechanisms
have an effect on observed speed.
The researchers are currently working to find solutions in order to limit or remove this
anomaly, which could seem very limiting with the develo
