WBA/IETF Connect-Info Implementation under way

[Joey Padden]

Hi All, 

New here. We are Helium, we have Wi-Fi APs based on hostapd via Open Wi-Fi project. 

We are implementing Wi-Fi Quality metrics in RADIUS AVP 77 Connect-Info following the WBA Access Network Metrics group and IETF draft linked here.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-grayson-connectinfo/  

Initial investigation suggests we’ll be editing the following files primarily for metric collection and aggregation functions. We expect this work to produce a PR for hostapd project in approximately 1 month. 

src/wifi_stats/wifi_stats.c
src/wifi_stats/wifi_stats.h

other small changes in other files to integrate it to hostapd config and radius functions.

Wanted to share here to solicit any input / collaborators while we develop this. Also want to know if we are duplicating any effort as we start… not after a month of effort. 

We’ll keep the group posted as we go in the absence of any substantive input. 

Best Regards,
Joey Padden
