Monitoring the Wireless Network
A high number of retries can indicate interference or excessive congestion.
Wireless phones, which send traffic to a multicast address, may have a high percent-
age of nonunicast traffic. For traditional stations, a high percentage of nonunicast
traffic can be normal for brief periods—for example, when the station first associates
and requests a DHCP address. You may be able to decrease the number of frames
that stations broadcast by enabling proxy ARP. (See Chapter4: “Wireless Local Area
Networks (WLANs).”)
