Radio Statistics

The Radio Statistics provide information concerning the number of packets sent and
received by an Access Point over the radio network.
The following Radio Statistics are available for an 802.11b Access Point:
Transmit Statistics
G Number of Packets Transmitted: This statistic is divided into the number of
unicast packets transmitted and the number of multicast packets transmitted.
Unicast packets are destined for a single network node; multicast packets are
destined for more than one network node.
G Number of Bytes Transmitted: This statistic is divided into the number of
bytes transmitted in unicast packets and the number of bytes transmitted in
multicast packets.
G Single Retries: After the AP sends a packet, it waits for an acknowledgment
from the receiving radio to confirm that the packet was successfully received. If
an acknowledgment is not received within a fixed period of time, the AP will
retransmit the packet. This statistic reports the number of packets that required
one retry before the AP received an acknowledgment.
G Multiple Retries: This statistic reports the number of packets that required more
than one retry before the AP received an acknowledgment.
