Success %
This item states the percentage of the total Ping packets that were acknowledged by the target station. The
success rate for Pings should be in the 90-100% range for normal operation. Lower results indicate some problem
in connection between the unit sending the Ping and the receiving station.
Avg Retrans
This item states the average number of retransmitted packets during the test. Smaller numbers in this field
indicate better communication quality. The Avg Retrans is expected to stay at 1, meaning no retransmission was
needed. Higher numbers indicate some difficulty in sending traffic to the other station, and should be corrected.
Retransmissions means reduced efficiency.
