Pkts per second The Total column displays the average total packets per second
crossing the radio. The Rx column displays the average total
packets per second received. The Tx column displays the average
total packets per second transmitted. The number in black
represents this statistic for the last 30 seconds and the number in
blue represents this statistic for the last hour.
Throughput The Total column displays average throughput on the radio. The Rx
column displays average throughput in Mbps for packets received.
The Tx column displays average throughput for packets
transmitted. The number in black represents statistics for the last
30 seconds and the number in blue represents statistics for the last
hour. Use this information to assess whether the current
throughput is sufficient to support required network traffic.
Avg. Bit Speed The Total column displays the average bit speed in Mbps for the
radio This includes all packets transmitted and received. The
number in black represents statistics for the last 30 seconds and
the number in blue represents statistics for the last hour.
Approximate RF
Utilization
The approximate RF utilization of the AP-5131 radio. This value is
calculated as throughput divided by average bit speed. The number
in black represents this statistic for the last 30 seconds and the
number in blue represents this statistic for the last hour.
% Non-unicast pkts Displays the percentage of total radio packets that are non-unicast.
Non-unicast packets include broadcast and multicast packets.The
number in black represents packets for the last 30 seconds and the
