iOS Wi-Fi Aware: Throughput Comparison of Real-Time vs. Bulk Mode

Hello Apple Developer Technical Support / Engineering Team,

We are currently developing an iOS application that utilizes Wi-Fi Aware (NAN) for peer-to-peer data transfer between iOS devices. We are in the process of optimizing our data transmission performance and are evaluating the different data path configurations available.

Specifically, we would like to understand the performance characteristics and throughput differences between the Real-Time mode and the Bulk mode in the iOS Wi-Fi Aware implementation.

Could you please provide clarification on the following points?

Maximum Throughput: Between Real-Time mode and Bulk mode, which one is designed to provide a higher maximum throughput for continuous data transfer?
