the MOS test parameters. Such extreme-values and range tests produce detailed

information on the network behavior.

Use case: Multiple SSID testing

There are two ways to achieve testing on multiple networks on one single monitoring

station. The first is based on element copying (the previous paragraph) and the other is

using copies of essid objects.

Using copies of elements may be burdensome at the configuration time but gives control

over the test order. By copying one single element (test type) to be sequentially tested on

different wlans produces the following sample profile:

1. FTP on Wlan1

2. FTP on Wlan2

3. FTP on Wlan3

4. Spectrum

5. MOS on Wlan1

6. MOS on Wlan2

7. MOS on Wlan3

8. Scan

The other approach is the create a simple test sequence as essid and then duplicate the

essid object and make the duplicates to point to different wlans. The resulting sample test

profile would be similar to the following:

1. FTP on Wlan1

2. MOS on Wlan1

3. Spectrum

4. FTP on Wlan2

5. MOS on Wlan2

6. Scan

7. FTP on Wlan3

8. MOS on Wlan3

Please observe that in the latter approach the measurements on a single wlan network shall

be sparser temporally. While individual tests shall happen on roughly the same time interval,

the distribution of the samples per network differs a great deal on these two approaches.

When planning the test cycles, one should bear in mind:

The more tests there are in the sequence, the bigger the difference in sample

distribution.

The more networks, the less samples for individual networks
