And each single website of these applications has often a complex dynamical content. So the “End User Experience View” is getting more and more important, because for the above mentioned reasons it is not easy to realize if the whole content has been loaded with nothing more then a trace file and no deeper knowledge of the application.

Well I wrote this article to give an answer to this question. To do this it is the best to start with the beginning of WLANs. The beginning of WLAN technology A WLAN is an IEEE
