perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Mark Feit <>]

You still might consider running the test as-is across the wireless link 
since the inability to establish a control connection is as good an indicator 
of 100% packet loss as actual packet loss.

If you’re looking to monitor link quality and the wireless interfaces are 
directly attached to the host, the Linux kernel makes a bunch of information 
available that would be helpful.  perfSONAR doesn’t support that at the 
moment, but there are some changes in the pipeline slated for later this year 
that will allow that kind of custom testing.
