*nods* but you just see *THAT* the radio is busy, not *WHY* the radio is busy. Some of the vendors have sent things on-list and offlist on both AFMUG and WISPA examples of things they either do or have in the works. I don't think I've yet seen exactly what I want (maybe EVERYTHING I want is too resource intensive), but I've seen some big steps in that regard. Definitely some pretty pictures representing some really useful information.

You can see that in "top" on the radio.

Tell me how busy the AP is so I know how much more can fit... and break down into different categories why it's busy. TX, Rx, retransmit, overhead, MCS 15, MCS 0, which stations are using what percent, etc. I'd say that knowing how busy the radio is is more important than knowing how many bits are flowing through it. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com </blockquote>
