At CMU we collect at regular intervals: Associated clients and their signal strengths Bridge table General packet, byte, error counters.
All of this data is via SNMP from the access points. We have Lucent/Agere/Proxim Wavepoint II and AP-500's. This is done via our locally developed monitoring system which collect tables and statistics from most of our network devices. We also archive mush of this data for long term analysis. and also supply it to a few researchers. We use cricket graphing package for graphical displays of the information.

Here at the University of Melbourne we currently have around 65 Avaya AP-3 and around a dozen Cisco Aironet 350, and a handful of AP-1000s. What I would like to do is to produce MRTG style graphs for each base station showing how many users are connected and when. This will show where the most popular locations are and at what times. Are others doing this ? Are there commercial products / tools available that can do this ? / Can it be done over different platforms ?
