1. A method for altering Inter Frame Spacing to improve performance of a network, the method comprising the steps of:

  • ascertaining a transmit activity of the network; and

    checking whether said transmit activity is greater than or equal to a transmit activity threshold, wherein if said transmit activity is greater than or equal to said transmit activity threshold, then(i) ascertaining a collision intensity experienced by the network, and(ii) adjusting the Inter Frame Spacing until said collision intensity rises above a collision intensity threshold, andif said transmit activity is less than said transmit activity threshold, then setting the Inter Frame Spacing to a minimum Inter Frame Spacing delay associated with the network.
