WLAN Statistics
802.11b Frame Statistics | Rx/TX |
|
|
|
|
Unicast Frames | Number of frames received and transmitted |
|
|
Multicast Frames | Total number of frames received and transmitted as broadcast or |
| multicast. Typically a lower number than Unicast frames. |
|
|
Fragments | Total number of fragmented frames received and sent. This is a general |
| indication of activity at this wireless device. |
|
|
Total Packets | Total number of packets received and transmitted |
|
|
Total Bytes | Total number of bytes received and transmitted |
|
|
Errors | Total number of receive and transmit errors |
|
|
Single Retry Frames | Number of messages retransmitted a single time being acknowledged |
| by the receiving device. Retransmission is normal for 802.11b to quickly |
| recover from lost messages. |
|
|
Multiple Retry Frames | Number of messages retransmitted multiple times before |
| acknowledgement by the receiving device. A relatively high value can |
| indicate interference or a heavy wireless data load. |
|
|
Retry Limit Exceeded | Number of messages undelivered after the maximum number of |
| transmissions. Along with Discards, it can indicate a wireless network |
| under heavy interference or excessive load of wireless data traffic. |
|
|
Discards | Number of messages untransmitted due to congestion. Normally, the |
| messages are temporarily stored in an internal buffer until transmitted. |
| When the buffer is full, frames are discarded until the buffer is cleared. |
| When the number is high, it may indicate a wireless network with a |
| heavy load of traffic. |
|
|
Discards: Bad WEP Key | Number of times a received message was discarded because it could |
| not be decrypted. This could indicate mismatched keys or one device |
| does not support encryption or does not have encryption enabled. |
|
|
FCS Errors | Number of received frames or frame parts containing an erroneous |
| checksum requiring deletion. Messages are recovered using ACK and |
| retransmitted by the sending device. |
|
|
Frames Received | Total number of data frames received. |
|
|
Frames Aborted | Total number of frames dropped. |
|
|
Frames Aborted Phy |
|
|
|
Duplicate Frames | Number of duplicate frames received. |
