Measures reported by WAPTSpecStatTest

Sometimes, the quality of real-time applications like VoIP and video streaming over Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) can be poor because of an unstable wireless link. This is the reason why there is a need to prioritize network traffic by enabling Quality of Service (QoS).

Traffic Specification (TSPEC) is sent from a QoS-capable wireless client that requests for a certain amount of network traffic from the Wireless Access Point (WAP) for the traffic stream (TS) it represents. The WAP then decides whether the request is acceptable or not and provides its decision to the client. The client can start the high-priority communication only when the WAP approves it. This prevents any kind of collision and congestion of the wireless link and thus keeps the communication quality good. The WAPTSpecStatTest test helps administrators track the voice and video communication via the target Cisco Wireless Accesspoint.

By closely monitoring the voice and video communication, this test helps administrators identify the number of voice and video calls that were approved and rejected by the target Cisco Wireless Accesspoint.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the target Cisco Wireless Accesspoint being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:
