Abstract
As open-source WiFi device drivers are increasingly
available, wireless equipment can be configured to disobey
the 802.11 specification, with the goal of achieving performance
gains, to the detriment of fair users.We demonstrate a practical
implementation of a node policing scheme that combats such
selfish behaviour, using commercial off-the-shelf hardware and
a modified firmware. With a small testbed, we show that access
points running our scheme can detect misbehaving stations,
inflict punishment upon them and effectively restore fairness
in the network.
