WIND Milosz Hulboj Vlad Lapadatescu
CERN’s campus • Number of deployments: increasing • Number of users: increasing • User demands: ever growing • Available spectrum: shrinking!
Timeline • 2010.02 – Project started • 2010.08 – Visit in HP Montreal • 2010.11 – Technical report, change of scope, first collection system, initial performance metrics • 2011.11 – Radio channel counters added by HP, change of scope • 2011.12 – First rule based diagnostic engine • 2012.10 – Technical report, findings, deliverables • 2012.11 – Visit in Canada, knowledge transfer • 2013.01 – WIND as a tool for network engineers
WIND saves time, resources and money! • User perspective of the network (with history) • Remote diagnostics • List of probable problem causes • Broad range of problems detected • Assessment of WLAN health: • Reduced number of site surveys • Proactive monitoring (interference, rogues) • “What-if” analysis • Without probes!
WIND’s legacy • State of the art WiFi monitoring and diagnosis tools • Extensive feedback to WiFi Service manager • Valuable feedback to HP • Two technical reports, procedures, suggestions, know-how • WIND as a service for WiFi monitoring and troubleshooting
Acknowledgements • Big thank you to HP for an excellent collaboration • Big thank you to CERN CS group for: • tolerating our experiments • help and ideas provided • testing of our tools
