When I initiate wi-fi peers discovery by p2p_find
command in wpa_cli
(wlan is the only interface) network bandwidth sugnifically slows.
Tried it on Android Lollipop and Kali Linux, both are affected.
Thanks airmon-ng and wireshark, I see not too intensive flow of probe frames, about one frame in 3 seconds. Seems not too much, but it slows bandwidth up to twice, even more sometime!
(To monitor bandwidth I use excellent speedometer
tool on Kali, and custom application on Android).
Why p2p discovery does have so much effect?
