Is possible to measure simultaneous clients activity?

RouterOS General

I dont know, but sorry if it is OT. So then, Ive watching the PPP interfaces list via winbox sorted by tx packets per second and noticed that sometimes there are 10 interfaces simultaneously grabing packets, sometimes there are 40. Noticed that the average throughput on the AP in 802.11b when 10 client interfaces are grabing packets simultaneously is bigger than when there are 40 simultaneously grabing packets. Also, at this state (about 40 clients simultaneously active and communicating) the latency is pretty high. Thats what we generally see on wireless, right.

I would like to measure how many clients are simultaneously transmitting/receiving packets on a wireless AP and make it a chart. Is that even possible with MT ROS?

Please, tia.

There is no such option available from SNMP.
‘interface wireless registration-table print interface=<iface_name> count-only’ provides you with information about connected clients.
Probably, you can think about some scripts that can accumulate these values.

yea… Was trying to create differential functions for each customers packet oid and then sort it, but no success yet. Perhaps a filter rule logging into a syslog somewhere to perform statistics later? I guess…

Thank you anyway. :slight_smile:
