Want to summarize with AI?

Configure the URWB Telemetry Protocol to enable custom external monitoring of real-time wireless performance through structured UDP packets.

he URWB Telemetry Protocol was introduced in UIW Release 17.12.1. It allows custom external monitoring of real-time wireless performance. Third-party and custom applications can use this data. Pre-defined structured UDP packets sent at regular intervals contain various network metrics.

Each access point exports data for its radios. This data can be interpreted live by the receiving application or captured and processed later.

For more information about the protocol format, contact Cisco Support to request URWB Telemetry Protocol reference document.

The telemetry UDP packet contains the following information:

Signal strength of packet
Packet throughput and migration rate
Number of transmission and retransmission
Modulation rate
Details of packet loss
Operating frequency of each radio
Information about the events recorded on the network
