/* RTS Threshold */
The following lines were added (+) and removed (-):
RTS stands for "Request to Send". This parameter controls what size data packet the low level RF protocol issues to an RTS packet. Using a small value causes RTS packets to be sent more often, consuming more of the available bandwidth, therefore reducing the apparent throughput of the network packet. However, the more RTS packets that are sent, the quicker the system can recover from interference or collisions; as would be the case in a heavily loaded network, or a wireless network with much electromagnetic interference.RTS stands for "Request to Send".
