Before you start testing and evaluating your wireless network, you need to define your objectives and scope clearly. What are the goals and expectations of your wireless network testing and evaluation? What are the key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics that you want to measure and analyze? What are the scenarios and use cases that you want to simulate and test? What are the boundaries and limitations of your wireless network testing and evaluation? By defining your objectives and scope, you can plan and prioritize your wireless network testing and evaluation activities, and avoid wasting time and resources on irrelevant or redundant tasks.
“Depending on your objectives and scope, you may need to use different tools and methods to test and evaluate your wireless network in a remote or distributed setting. For example, remote access tools like SSH, Telnet, VPN, VNC, and RDP allow you to access and control your wireless network devices and components from a central location. ”
Additionally, wireless network analyzers such as Wireshark, Nmap, AirMagnet, and NetSpot can help you capture, analyze, and visualize the wireless network traffic and performance data. Finally, wireless network simulators such as NS-3, OPNET, and OMNeT++ enable you to create virtual models of your wireless network and simulate different scenarios and conditions. With these tools and methods, you can identify issues in your wireless network configuration and parameters, optimize performance under various situations, and compare results with expected outcomes.
