Aggregate MSDU and MPDU
The Wireless 802.11n AP provides aggregate Mac Service Data Unit (MSDU)
and aggregate Mac Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) functionality, which combines

throughput. The aggregate methods are enabled and defined selected from the
Aggregate MSDUs and Aggregate MPDUs drop-down lists.
