| summary | WRAPI+ is a tool to monitor wireless statistics, including received signal strength,
transmitted frame count, and failed frame transmissions and acknowledgments on a Windows XP
end hosts' IEEE 802.11b/g network device. WRAPI+ was built upon the freely available
WRAPI C++ library. |

| output | MAC Layer Statistics (e.g., RSSI, TransmittedFragmentCout, RetryCount, etc) |
| parameters | Output file name |
| usage | 1)Before you run wrapi.exe, you need to stop "Wireless Zero Configuration Service".
by typing these two command at the command prompt
"net start ndisuio"
and "net stop WZCSVC"
2) wrapi.exe [filename]
It will generated two logfiles:
[filename]_log.dat: the Mac Layer Statistics Data.
[filename]_en.dat : Key the AP's Information. If there exist multiple APs.
It will recorder all the AP's Mac address. However, sometime it would
log a fake AP'MAC.
If no parameter is given, it will generate logfile names use the current date
for you such as "20041025153112.dat" and put it in the same directory. |
| algorithm | WRAPI+ is an application built upon the freely available C++ library named WRAPI10
that provides function calls to gather wireless statistics in Windows XP.
When run on an end-host, WRAPI+ periodically (every 500 ms, by default) reports and logs
IEEE 802.11 network interface statistics that includes received signal strength,
transmitted frame count, and failed frame transmissions and acknowledgments. WRAPI+ is
provided with source code to maximize reuse and enable measurement customization. |

Net Gear WG511g v1 card.
Lucent ORiNOCO wireless cards,
Cisco Aironet cards (340 and 4800 series),
Compaq and Dell in-built wireless cards, (Dell could not get Fail Count)
Linksys cards. (not sure) |
