All our data is taken from radius records (because WCS/NCS/Prime/[insert future
name here] doesn't give us the reporting we want and probably never will), this
gives us UID, MAC address's, IP address, time stamps, role
(student/staff/visitor) which are imported into a home built database for
querying. So it doesn't matter what SSID they connect to. eduroam visitors are
flagged as such, and their domain is attached to the user id, the outer
identities can cause some data to not match up, but I don't think we can
control that and apart from that 1 month it's been minimal. An eduroam visitor
could connect to our UofA network and still get authenticated via the eduroam
system, and they'll show up as an eduroam visitor for statistics.
We also have a dhcp server sitting there just doing fingerprinting(never sends
a response), this information is yet to be imported to our database. But we can
pull a list of macs from the DB and run that past the finger printer logs to
provide operating system stats for any or all users types.
A 30 day snapshot of eduroam visitors by country domain below. It'd be nice to
have time to get some live images up like others have done.

Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] eduroam question(s)
On the metrics, is there any way of showing how many of the Eduroam clients are
bona ride visitors versus your own clients on the Eduroam SSID? That's the
real delta I'm curious about in general- how many true visitors using it.
Thanks,
Lee
