Data Rate Performance - Extreme Networks Summit WMScanner User Manual

Data Rate Performance

This visualization shows the data rates that a client actually uses while transmitting and receiving data
packets during its association with an AP. This visualization makes use of available measurement data
only when data is being transferred. Thus, to view the heat map, it is mandatory for you to perform
measurement surveys. These surveys should be performed in the AP Performance mode using the
custom driver by enforcing data transfer between the AP and the client. Compared to the Expected
Legacy Data Rate visualization, Data Rate Performance visualization does not use RSSI to derive data rate.
Data Rate Performance visualization uses the data rate measured on the basis of packets exchanged
during data transfer.
