Access Point Measurements

The values on the Access Point tab report the processing measurements for the Access point in a Wifi Offload Gateway Nodal test.

Measurement Values

In the default view, the Reports tab displays the Summary view, which summarizes the measurements for the test session. If your test includes multiple test cases, you can view the report for a single test case by changing the report view...

Unless otherwise noted, cumulative values report the number of occurrences or rates calculated since the start of the test, and per-interval values report the number of occurrences or rates calculated during the interval. You can view either by changing the measurement values...

Elapsed Time is the first measurement on every tab. It reports the amount of time between the start of the test and the end of the report interval.

Test Iteration reports the current iteration in a repeating test session. It is only displayed when a Number of Iterations is defined for the test session.

Message Counters

The following measurements record the number and types of messages exchanged between the AP and WOGW.

Packets Received on Wrong Tunnel — Indicates the number of packets received on the wrong tunnel.
Discovery Requests Sent — Indicates the number of Discovery Request messages sent the WTP when it attempts to establish communication with an AC
Discovery Responses Received — Indicates the number of Discovery Responses Received by the WTP from the GW (AC)
Join Requests Sent — Indicates the number of Join Request messages sent by the WTP to request service from the GW (AC).
Join Responses Received — Indicates the number of Join Response message received by the WTP from the GW (AC). The AC/GW sends the Join Response to WTP and informs its capability and willingness to provide service to the WTP.
Configuration Status Requests Sent — Indicates the number of Configuration Status Request message sent by a WTP to deliver its current configuration to the AC/GW.
Configuration Status Responses Received — Indicates the number of Configuration Status Response message received by the WTP from the GW/AC. The Configuration Status Response message is sent by an AC and provides a mechanism for the AC to override a WTP's requested configuration.
Configuration Update Requests Received — Indicates the number of Configuration Update Request messages received by the WTP from the GW/AC to provision the WTP while in the Run state and is used to modify the configuration of the WTP while it is operational.
Configuration Update Responses Sent — Indicates the number of Configuration Update Response messages sent by a WTP to a GW/AC after receiving a Configuration Update Request message. The Configuration Update Response message the result code indicates if the WTP successfully accepted the configuration.
Change State Requests Sent — Indicates the number of Change State Request message is sent by a WTP to acknowledge or report an error condition to the AC/GW for a requested configuration in the Configuration Status Response message. The Change State Request message includes the Result Code message element, which indicates whether the configuration was successfully applied.
Change State Responses Received — Indicates the number of Change State Response message received by the WTP from the AC/GW in acknowledgement to the Change State Request messages sent. The Change State Response message is sent by the AC when in the Configure or Run state.
Echo Requests Sent — Indicates the number of Echo Request message sent periodically by a WTP to determine the state of the control connection between the WTP and the AC/GW. The Echo Request message is sent by the WTP when the Echo Interval timer expires and is a keep-alive mechanism for CAPWAP control messages.
Echo Responses Received — Indicates the number of Echo Response Received by the WTP from the AC/GW. An Echo Response message is sent by an AC (when in the Run state) after receiving an Echo Request message.
Reset Requests Received — Indicates the number of Reset Request messages sent by an AC/GW to cause a WTP to reinitialize its operation.
Reset Responses Sent — Indicates the number of Reset Responses messages sent by the sent by the WTP to the GW/AC after receiving a Reset Request message.
Station Configuration Requests Received — Indicates the number of Station Configuration Request messages sent by the GW/AC to the WTP. The message is used to create, modify, or delete station session state on a WTP and may contain one or more message elements. The message elements for this CAPWAP Control message include information that is generally highly technology specific (refer to the appropriate binding document for definitions of the messages elements that are included in this control message).
Station Configuration Responses Sent — Indicates the number of Station Configuration Response messages sent by the WTP to GW/AC when in the Run state.
Keep Alives Sent — Indicates the number of Keep-Alive packet sent by the WTP to the GW/AC.

NOTE: The CAPWAP Data Channel Keep-Alive packet is used to bind the CAPWAP control channel with the data channel, and to maintain freshness of the data channel, ensuring that the channel is still functioning. The CAPWAP Data Channel Keep-Alive packet is transmitted by the WTP when the DataChannelKeepAlive timer expires. When the CAPWAP Data Channel Keep-Alive packet is transmitted, the WTP sets the DataChannelDeadInterval timer.

Keep Alives Received — Indicates the number of Keep-Alive packet received from the WTP by the GW/AC.
Keep Alive Failures — Indicates the number of Keep-Alive packet Failures from the WTP by the GW/AC.
WLAN Configuration Requests Received — Indicates the number of WLAN Configuration Requests received by the AP from the Gateway.
WLAN Configuration Responses Sent — Indicates the number of WLAN Configuration Responses sent from AP to the Gateway.
ARP Over GRE Requests Received — Indicates the number of ARP Over GRE requests received by the AP from the Gateway.
ARP Over GRE Responses Sent — Indicates the number of ARP Over GRE responses sent from AP to the Gateway.
ImageData Requests Sent — Indicates the number of ImageData Requests sent from AP to the Gateway.
ImageData Responses Received — Indicates the number of ImageData responses Received from AP to the Gateway.
ImageData Requests Received — Indicates the number of ImageData requests received from AP to the Gateway.
ImageData Responses Sent — Indicates the number of ImageData responses sent from AP to the Gateway.
HTTP Control Discovery Message Sent — Indicates the number of HTTP Control Discovery messages sent from AP to the Gateway.
HTTP Control Discovery Response Message Received — Indicates the number of HTTP Control Discovery Response messages received by the AP from the Gateway.
HTTP Control Get Approve Status Message Sent — Indicates the number of HTTP Control Get Approve Status messages sent from AP to the Gateway.
HTTP Control Get Approve Status Response Message Received — Indicates the number of HTTP Control Get Approve Status Response messages received by the AP from the Gateway.
HTTP Control Get Config Message Sent — Indicates the number of HTTP Control Get Config messages sent from AP to the Gateway.
HTTP Control Get Config Response Message Received — Indicates the number of HTTP Control Get Config Response messages received by the AP from the Gateway.
HTTP Control Put Config Message Sent — Indicates the number of HTTP Control Put Config messages sent from AP to the Gateway.
HTTP Control Put Config Response Message Received — Indicates the number of HTTP Control Put Config Response messages received by the AP from the Gateway.
HTTP Control Get Firmware Message Sent — Indicates the number of HTTP Control Get Firmware messages sent from AP to the Gateway.
HTTP Control Get Firmware Response Message Received — Indicates the number of HTTP Control Get Firmware Response messages received by the AP from the Gateway.
