Per-IAP Statistics
This is a status only window that provides detailed statistics for the selected IAP.
Scroll the window down to see a breakout of the statistics by connection rate. For
a summary of statistics for all IAPs, see “IAP Statistics Summary” on page 135.
Use the Display Percentages checkbox at the upper left to select the output
format — check this option to express each statistic as a percentage of the total at
the top of the column, or leave it blank to display raw numbers.
Receive Error statistics include:
Total Retries: the count of packets that were sent more than once before
being received correctly.
CRC error: the count of packets that were corrupted on the air and were
dropped. Some level of CRC errors are expected in wireless networks.
Note that all IAPs operate in a mode where they are listening to
everything all the time, which means they will see many CRC errors.
Fragment Errors: the count of packets that were incomplete.
Encryption Errors: the count of packets that had encryption problems.
Duplicates: the count of packets that were received more than once. The
duplicate packets are dropped.
Dropped Packets: the count of packets that were dropped due to various
receive errors, including being received when all receive queues were
full. These packets are dropped after being received.
Overruns: indicate the number of times that First-In-First-Out (FIFO)
overflow errors occur.
