SWAT: Know Your Network

Measuring low-level wireless network properties allows researchers to understand how wireless protocols and applications perform in different environments.

The Stanford Wireless Analysis Tool (SWAT) automates gathering and analysis of network measurements. SWAT provides an interface for configuring a data collection experiment. It collects raw packet statistics such as received signal strength and chip error, and provides modules for calculating various metrics. Finally, SWAT visualizes the network characteristics and metrics in a comprehensive report.

It takes three easy steps

  1. Configure an experiment
  2. Measure the network
  3. Visualize the data



The Help section contains useful information regarding installation, required software, and general SWAT usage.
