18.15 Internet Availability test
This is an infrastructure test that reflects how well a WLAN or Ethernet client (Eye monitoring
station) is able to utilize the Internet. The test includes the following steps:
- radio link setup (WLAN only)
- WLAN authentication (WLAN only)
- DHCP service (WLAN only)
- Gateway pinging
- DNS server checks
- DNS name resolves
If the monitoring station passes all the phases of the test, it is justified to assume that the
internet use is in general fully functional.
