CCQ information repost from Tully

Nstreme revision 9 is on the download site.

It has a fix for dual Nstreme when it could disconnect and not reconnect.

Also, you can see our new CCQ (client connection quality) number for each client (tx to client and tx from client). This gives a real number from 1-100 that tells how efficiently the client is connected. The formula uses rates, network access overhead, retries, packet/frame size and other measurables to calculate how efficiently each connection is operating.

For 802.11, this can give you idea of whether you need to re-align you antenna, change your cable – general quality of the link. Of course for links that are on the edge of the distance calc and links that are in locations with high interference, the number will not look so good and should be used as to compare with other links in similar situations.

For Nstreme, CCQ will provide the basis for dynamic decisions on internal Nstreme variables to optimize the link speed.

While doing my own research on CCQ, I found this post from 2004. Is this still accurate?

Can we get more information on this so we can attempt to diagnose WHY our CCQ is what it is?
