| Summary: | In the past five decades, computer network has kept up growing with the increases of its complexity. In such situation, the
management, monitoring and maintenance of such computer network requires special attention to ensure optimal network
access capability is achieved. Wireless network traffic analysis is a process of recording, studying and analyzing packets in
wireless network for network performance analysis purposes. In some cases, the quality of network access performance can
be very low without knowing the actual problem. Therefore, in this paper, the performance of wireless network traffic is
proposed to be analyzed by using a Raspberry Pi which further able to send an alert to network admin to lessen the
downtime. Raspberry Pi is a low cost, a small and portable size of a computer board that can be used to plug-in to monitor,
keyboard, mouse, pen drive, etc. In this project, a MyTraceroute (MTR) program is installed on the Raspberry Pi to capture
the IP of the Access Point (AP) and show packets loss percentage in the network. The results will be saved in the form of text
file and sent to network admin by using email. The solution proposed in this paper is able to support solution to a problem on
efficient monitoring, managing and maintaining wireless network traffics. |
