Prior work has focused on the detection and diagnosis of such problems using layer-2 information from 802.11 devices and special purpose access points and monitors, which may not be generally available. Here, we investigate a user-level approach: is it possible to detect and diagnose 802.11 pathologies with strictly user-level active probing, without any cooperation from, and without any visibility in, layer-2 devices? In this paper, we present preliminary but promising results indicating that such diagnostics are feasible.”, journal = “{SIGCOMM Computer Communications Review (CCR)}”, month = “January”, pages = “7–15”, numpages = “9”, keywords = “probing, diagnosis, home networks, 802.11, performance” }
