Maybe I need to spend some more time on my ePMPs. ;-)

My point was the ePMP Wireless Performance tab has packet retransmission, MCS percentages, etc. on it, so as far as that is concerned you have it available to you now. Otherwise, the more detailed you go as you’re defining here, I feel the more load you put on the device, I could be wrong though. example Thank you, Ben Royer, Operations Supervisor Royell Communications, Inc. 217-965-3699 www.royell.net From: Mike Hammett via Af Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2014 2:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Feature Request of all radiomanufacturers: Radio utilization or duty cycle meters I guess sort of like NTOP, but for the radio interface. The Ethernet interface will tell you how many bits/s you're passing, but NTOP tells you how much is TCP and how much is UDP. How much is unicast, multicast, broadcast. How much is small packets, medium packets, large packets. How much is DNS, HTTP, FTP, SMTP, etc. Take all of that... and apply it to the radio world. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Hammett via Af" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2014 2:05:51 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Feature Request of all radio manufacturers: Radio utilization or duty cycle meters I haven't spent a lot of time on the interface yet, but what I've seen is a good first step. % Frame Utilization. Okay, now within that say 73% utilization, how much is in, how much is out, how much is MCS0 how much is MCS15, how much is spent retransmitting things you already sent, etc.? Basically give me the tools to determine why the system isn't performing as expected instead of just me saying, "This radio sucks." ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Royer via Af" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2014 1:42:09 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Feature Request of all radio manufacturers: Radio utilization or duty cycle meters ePMP has a lot of what you’re asking for, 320 line had some too.

Tell me how busy the AP is so I know how much more can fit... and break down into different categories why it's busy. TX, Rx, retransmit, overhead, MCS 15, MCS 0, which stations are using what percent, etc. I'd say that knowing how busy the radio is is more important than knowing how many bits are flowing through it. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com
