Wireless Access

Are there any guidelines for the amount of packet loss and retransmissions that are considered "normal" or acceptable in wireless networks?  I'm seeing as much as 10% packet loss at times and several retransmissions from my testing.  I don't have a baseline and am not sure if I'm seeing anything out of the ordinary.

It depends on lots of factor including RF environment. 

IMO, around 1 or 2% should be okay for wireless.

You may want to look into:

1. RF interference

2. Channel busy

3. Noise floor

4. NIC of the laptop - Make sure its running latest driver

5. Amoint of Broadcast multicast traffic

Most of this things you can check on the Aruba controller. User guide can help you in that.
