Is this what you graph? http://support.cambiumnetworks.com/framed/onlinetools/content.WHISP-APS-MIB.html#rfOutDiscardRate Apparently its not telling you much? > even during low utilization periods. > With 450, we can generate RF discards in the lab with a single AP and single > SM so we aren't really sure when an AP is overloaded. > > Please head over to Cambium's community forum and give Kudos to these posts: > http://community.cambiumnetworks.com/t5/Your-Ideas/Utilization-per-Sector/idi-p/37968 > http://community.cambiumnetworks.com/t5/Your-Ideas/450-AP-Throughput-capacity/idi-p/36808 > > Alternatively, you can input your AP's session info (current up and down > modulations) into the Capacity Planner available here: > https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450/ > That should give you a theoretical max available bandwidth. > > > On 1/26/2015 11:57 AM, Matt wrote: >> >> We graph all the ethernet Interfaces on our FSK Canopy AP's etc with >> MRTG.
