That looks like the one.
Since we can generate the discards on one AP and one SM, we aren't using
that as an indication that an AP is overloaded.
I assume inbound packets destined for the SM are dropped at the AP due
to MIR settings, thus creating a discard.

This will tell you when you are tossing xx% of RF packets due to an
"overload" condition.
We graph 'RF out discards' on each AP and connection but we seem to get them
Is this what you graph?

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.

Alternatively, you can input your AP's session info (current up and down
modulations) into the Capacity Planner available here:

That should give you a theoretical max available bandwidth.

We graph all the ethernet Interfaces on our FSK Canopy AP's etc with
MRTG. Is there a way to graph the actual utilization to see when an
AP is maxed? I know an AP with all 2X clients should have 10mbps
downstream which most ours do. What I cant tell is when an AP has a
mix of 1X and 2X if the AP is maxed out or not by the graph. Same
principle for 450 AP's.
Perhaps there is a packet queue on the AP that gets congested at times
like this I can graph on five minute intervals? Something like that?
