I'm toying with some other metrics, not sure if it will be practical but
the clients register with the base and exchange "hello" packets, there
are 3 types: "excellent", "good", and "low". I think the NDIS client
link tests report those numbers too, I have to check and see what they
match up to, but you could average those numbers out and figure out the
average speed that the client is registering with the base, could be a
useful metric for link quality especially if you compared it with SNR.
I've added a graph of this using a quick estimate of how to possibly
calculate that value.
