For example, Peter, with N, you say is better, but may I ask you the
architecture of your network? (fast: only you or...)
Because of your question and the level of the discussion, I did some
more testing. My original remark was just based on small observations
after installing a new LAN server. You can forget my remarks about
fileserving. It turned out in my case to be the combination of
netatalk and routing that caused the difference.
On a side note, I discovered a difference between players. When
looking at the traffic graphs of Quicktime Player and VLC on Mac OSX
(I'm not a pure debianite :-) I found that quicktime reads it's data
at a steady rate but VLC in small bursts. That may be the reason I'm
seeing a lot more interrupts when using VLC and be the cause of
differences between other players too.
My architecture is like pictured below. But I don't think it'll add
much. Johnny, if you like me to do some testing with 802.11n, just
let me know and I'll see what I can do.
