o kbps out – average throughput over the collection interval in Kbps out of the AP on the
Ethernet Interface
o PPS in – average packets per second over the collection interval into the AP on the Ethernet
Interface
o PPS out – average packets per second over the collection interval out of the AP on the
Ethernet Interface
RF Throughput - Statistics collected at the RF Interface:
o kbps in – average throughput over the collection interval in Kbps into the AP on the RF
Interface
o kbps out – average throughput over the collection interval in Kbps out of the AP on the RF
Interface
o PPS in – average packets per second over the collection interval into the AP on the RF
Interface
o PPS out – average packets per second over the collection interval out of the AP on the RF
Interface
Aggregate Through Board – Sum of bidirectional data transferred through (not originating or
terminating at) the AP:
o kbps – average bidirectional throughput over the collection interval in Kbps
o PPS – average bidirectional packets per second over the collection interval
o Ave Pkt Size – Average Packet size over the collection interval of bidirectional data transferred
Board Throughput Statistics
This table contains a row that corresponds to each one minute statistics collection interval. This table
may be used to determine if there are problems with any of the interfaces. For example, if the
Ethernet in packets is much higher than the RF out packets it could indicate a denial of service (DoS)
attack on the AP. Each row contains the following data aggregated for the entire AP:
Ethernet Statistics - Statistics collected at the Ethernet port:
o inOctets – Number of octets (bytes) received by the AP at the Ethernet Interface over the
collection interval
o outOctets – Number of octets (bytes) sent by the AP at the Ethernet Interface over the
collection interval
o inPkts – Number of packets received by the AP at the Ethernet Interface over the collection
interval
o outPkts – Number of packets sent by the AP at the Ethernet Interface over the collection
interval
o Discards (in/out) – Number of packets that had to be discarded by the AP at the respective
Ethernet Interface Queue
RF Statistics - Statistics collected at the RF Interface:
o inOctets – Number of octets (bytes) received by the AP at the RF Interface over the collection
interval
o outOctets – Number of octets (bytes) sent by the AP at the RF Interface over the collection
interval
o inPkts – Number of packets received by the AP at the RF Interface over the collection
interval
