A framework for wireless LAN monitoring and its applications
Many studies on measurement and characterization of wireless LANs (WLANs) have been performed recently. Most of these measurements have been conducted from the wired portion of the network based on wired monitoring (e.g. sniffer at some wired point) or SNMP statistics. More recently, wireless monitoring, the traffic measurement from a wireless vantage point, is also widely adopted in both wireless research and commercial WLAN management product development. Wireless monitoring technique can provide detailed PHY/MAC information on wireless medium. For the network diagnosis purpose (e.g. anomaly detection and security monitoring) such detailed wireless information is more useful than the information provided by SNMP or wired monitoring. In this paper we have explored various issues in implementing the wireless monitoring system for an IEEE 802.11 based wireless network. We identify the pitfalls that such system needs to be aware of, and then provide feasible solutions to avoid those pi...
