Athstats

This is a modified version of the athstats tool, available with the ​MadWiFi driver for atheros chipset-based cards. It periodically queries the driver for measurements and reports them to the experiment database, using OML. At present, the measurements reported include total number of,

• frames transmitted successfully (at senders)
• frames dropped due to excessive retries (at senders)
• frames dropped due to FIFO errors (at senders)
• frames dropped due to filtering (at senders)
• short retries (for 802.11 RTS frames) (at senders)
• long retries (for 802.11 DATA/MGMT frames) (at senders)
• frames received successfully (at receivers)
• frames dropped due to CRC errors (at receivers)
• frames dropped due to FIFO errors (at receivers)
• frames dropped due to PHY errors (at receivers)
