This page displays an overview of your 802.11a Cisco radio network. The status of each 802.11a Cisco
radio configured on this controller and its profile as detailed in the following table.
Tx Dropped Packets Number of transmitting packets dropped during
the link test duration.
The transmitting WRAP can only send data at a
certain rate. If more data is received than can be
sent, then it is stored in the buffer. If the buffer is
full, some packets are dropped.
Rx Good Packets Number of good packets received during the link
test duration.
Rx Lost Packets Number of lost packets during the link test
duration.
Rx Out of Order Packets The number of packets received that were not in
the order at which they were transmitted during
the link test duration.
Packets are received by the receiving WRAP in
the order at which they were sent by the
transmitting WRAP. For example, the 2nd packet
transmitted is expected to reach the receiving
WRAP as the 2nd packet. If it reaches the
receiving WRAP after it has received the 4th
packet, then that 2nd packet is an out of order
packet.
