建置無限網路前您該作的事！

但是我覺得他敘述的還不夠多，只是概念的讓使用者瞭解資料、控制、服務品質、安全性，無線網路是否該納入人因攻擊的條件也是一大課題。
據報導台北已經是無線網路覆蓋率最高的地區，大眾只看的到便利的本身，
，但是資安事件（不論是入侵或是中毒中木馬）卻都是再發生之後才會檢討規劃，
但是是否有正確的使用觀念才是重要課題。

What tests should you run on your wireless LAN?
Vendor releases new 'master test plan'
May 17, 2007 (Network World) –
Wireless test vendor VeriWave has released a "master test plan" to guide enterprises in testing wireless LAN gear for performance, behaviors and characteristics.
The 190-page free downloadable document is designed to help network administrators know what to test in order to verify their equipment purchase decisions, according to the Portland, Ore., vendor.
VeriWave's products work with different brands of WLAN access points and controllers, simulating users and their traffic. The software runs, records and analyzes a broad array of automated tests to review in depth the WLAN's performance. Azimuth Systems Inc. is the other leading vendor in this market, which has traditionally been comprised of equipment manufacturers and carriers. The VeriWave test system is routinely used in Network World's ClearChoice wireless tests and reviews.
The new "Master Test Plan for Wireless LANS and Muni-Wireless Networks" focuses this expertise on the enterprise market, said Eran Karoloy, vice president of marketing at VeriWave. He said the report is an answer to a common question: "What do I need to test to verify that the equipment I'm going to purchase will do what I need it to do?"
The test plan identifies 1,000 separate tests, broken down into several testable parts:
l Data, measuring such things as TCP throughput, or the data forwarding rate.
l Control, checking how many clients can connect to an access point, or how traffic loads are balanced across access points.
l Quality of service (QoS), studying for example, how well the network differentiates between voice/streaming applications and regular data traffic.
l And security, to evaluate how it works with various security clients or performs with back-end RADIUS servers.
"A user can run all of them or pick and choose the ones relevant to their network," Karoloy said.
For each test, the master plan describes it, identifies its goal and its business benefits, and explains how to run it and what results the tester should look for.
Many of the tests, not surprisingly, require VeriWave's products, but not all. Some can be run with a wireless notebook or handheld computer and open-source or third-party software applications.
But Karoloy said he doesn't expect too many enterprise network executives to buy the VeriWave gear for internal tests. Instead, the master plan offers a laundry list of test data that enterprise users can request from WLAN vendors. "They should demand to see the test results," he said. "It's the only way to keep them honest."
VeriWave QoS tests, for example, can differentiate how a vendor's access point handles mixed voice and data traffic from 20 associated access points, under certain specific traffic priorities and background data traffic scenarios. The results are presented in specific measures of voice quality for each set of assumptions.
On the WLAN performance side, the tests reveal how the access point responds with different numbers of simultaneous users.
The master test plan can also shed light on vendor security claims. "Vendors will claim, 'We support 802.1X [authentication],'" Karoloy said. "But one of our tests goes through each security [authentication] scheme and confirms the equipment can support each and every one."
Enterprise users won't have to wade through megabytes of raw data. In 2006, VeriWave introduced automated report summaries, in PDF format, for the VeriWave test systems. Text is combined with bar charts, graphs and other presentations to summarize and clarify the data.
The master test plan is free.
