3.6.1.3 Display Rate Counters
00-20-D6-12-88-4E: Data tx on rates 1Mb: 23; 2Mb: 67; 3Mb: 462; Ret: 30
00-20-D6-12-25-13: Data tx on rates 1Mb: 250; 2Mb: 550; 3Mb: 0; Ret: 29
The rate counters display the number of frames transmitted in each data-rate since
the last reset. As displayed, the rate counters show the number of frames
transmitted at 1Mbps, 2Mbps, 3Mbps, and the number of Re-Transmitted frames
(Ret). The counters display the rate of packets transmitted for the first time only
(without retransmissions).
Note: Counters for APs are displayed for all associated stations, indicated by their
MAC address. Rate counters for stations are displayed with no indication of
MAC address.
Checking the rate counters is the best way to determine which data-rate is the
optimal data-rate for the unit. It is recommended to restrict the Maximum Data
Rate for each unit according to the Rate counters (see also Section 3.4.3). The Ret
counter displays the number of frames that had to be retransmitted, however it does
not count the number of retransmissions that actually accrued.
