Measures reported by PEPAPGrpThptTest

The Peplink WAN router is associated with multiple access points to serve a large number of WAN users. To manage the access points and simplify the load distribution among the users, administrators create access point groups. By default, the target router is automatically created with a default access point group which can have up to 16 access points. However, administrators can create multiple access point groups using the web admin interface. Using the access point groups so created, administrators can easily share the load among the users and manage the access points without any hassles. Administrators may also wish to calculate the throughput of the access point groups to find out how well/badly the access point groups handle the network traffic in the environment. Poor traffic handling by the access point groups may result in low throughput which indicates bursty network traffic in the environment. This in turn can cause WAN users to experience slowness when interacting through the router. To prevent such eventualities, it is important for the administrators to check the throughput of the access point groups at regular intervals. For this purpose, administrators can use the PEPAPGrpThptTest test!

This test auto-discovers the access point groups, and reports the amount of data sent and received and the number of packets transmitted and received by each access point group. Using this test, administrators can easily identify the access point group that handled the higher level of traffic to the router.

Outputs of the test :One set of results for each access point group created on the target router.
