Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

George Anthiel method
to jam WWII Axis
torpedoes
• Used FHSS; part of
legacy Wi-Fi and

13. History of Wi-Fi
• Wi-Fi does not mean “Wireless Fidelity”
– Interbrand was contracted by Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA)
circa 1999 for brand creation
– Per WFA, “Wi-Fi doesn’t stand for anything.”
– WFA used tag line: “Standard for Wireless Fidelity”
– WFA approved “Wi-Fi” and the yin yang logo
– Wi-Fi (with hyphen)

17. Where is Wi-Fi Used Today?
• Verticals (hospitals, airports, restaurants, offices,
warehouses, retail, homes, etc.)
• IoT (Internet of Things)
• RTLS – location tracking
• Outdoors (parking lots, parks, golf courses)
• Point-to-Point (PtP) links
• Everywhere!
18. DCF Arbitration
• IEEE 802.11 standard
• Wi-Fi is “polite” – uses half-duplex
• So, how do 50 clients, all associated to the
same AP and channel, take turns when they
transmit?
• Welcome to the DCF Arbitration Process!
19. DCF Arbitration
• CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access-
Collision Avoidance)
• STAs use a physical carrier sense (Clear
Channel Assessment—CCA) to determine if
the WM is busy.
– ED (Energy Detect) – raw RF energy
– CS (Carrier Sense) – preamble detection in frame
20. DCF Arbitration
• STAs use a virtual carrier sense (Network
Allocation Vector—NAV) to detect if the WM
is busy. When the virtual timer (NAV) reaches
zero, STAs may proceed
– Duration ID – value found in MAC frame header
– All STAs set their NAV timer to Duration ID of STA
that is transmitting.

22. Are You Interested in Wi-Fi as a
Career?
• Start with CWNP www.cwnp.com
• Leading Wi-Fi vendors have online training
(Cisco, Aruba, Aerohive, Ruckus, Mojo, etc.)
• Wi-Fi blogs, webinars, YouTube, mentors
• www.gcatewifi.wordpress.com for list of
Wi-Fi blogs
23. Can You Fix My Wi-Fi at Home?
• The Need for Speed:
– Size and speed of your home ISP?
– This is usually the bottleneck
– Get at least 20/2 (DL/UL)
– Realize this is a “shared” internet circuit. Evenings
and weekends are always busy!
24. Can You Fix My Wi-Fi at Home?
• Do you have Wi-Fi at home now?
– Is it an ISP provided AP? If so, they may have
incorrect settings (more on this later)
– Be sure your AP (router) is in center of home
– If AP not provided, then buy one (Cisco-Linksys,
Netgear, D-Link, TP-Link, Ubiquity, etc.)
– All have web page for setup (change admin pw!)
25. Can You Fix My Wi-Fi at Home?
• “I have a big house and need more APs!”
– Cloud-based APs are good (Ubiquity, Open Mesh,
Cisco Meraki are all good). Connected via Ethernet
cables
– Mesh APs (Eero, Google Wi-Fi, Netgear Orbi)—
they all “talk” to each other
– Use same SSID (network name) on all APs
26. Can You Fix My Wi-Fi at Home?
• 80% of Wi-Fi problems are client-related
– Check your WLAN NIC drivers (Windows, Android,
Mac OS, iOS)
– Check your OS updates (Windows, Mac, Android)
– Changed password lately?
27. Can You Fix My Wi-Fi at Home?
• Wi-Fi Settings (the ”correct” ones!)
– 2.4 GHz: Only on channels, 1, 6 or 11
• Use a mobile app to see what channels are in use
• Be sure channel bonding is set to 20 MHz only!
– 5.0 GHz: All channels are OK to use
• Use a mobile app to see what channels are in use
• Keep channel bonding to 40 or 80 MHz, not 160
29. Can You Fix My Wi-Fi at Home?
• Wi-Fi Settings (the ”correct” ones!)
• Channel/power levels: suggest manual channels and power
levels at 17 dBm (50 mW max). Use 14 dBm if you can.
• Data rates: If you can, disable (on 2.4 GHz) 1, 2, 5.5 and 11
Mbps rates, your network will run faster.
• Data rates: Check 5.0 GHz. OK to use, 6, 12 and 24 as
basic rates.
• Leave all other settings as “default” (unless you know what
you are doing)
30. Can You Fix My Wi-Fi at Home?
• Wi-Fi Settings (the ”correct” ones!)
• SSIDs (network name): Use a simple one
– C or A or J. Not your last name or your dog, cat, etc.
– Setup a Guest SSID (call it G, not guest)
• Password: Use WPA2-PSK
– 8 characters needed; pick something easy to remember
– Amat3ur! (8 characters: U.C., L.C., number, special character)
• Flash your router with latest firmware update
• If your router is “old”, buy a new one! (802.11ac device)

Editor's Notes
No, Hedy Lamarr did not “invent” FHSS (it was around before this time), but she did invent the usage for jamming Axis torpedes in WWII.
Technology not adopted by US Navy until the 1960s
FHSS was part of legacy Wi-Fi and is part of Bluetooth technology
Lamarr was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014
WiFi Alliance wanted a term a bit catchier than “IEEE 802.11b Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum” and contracted Interbrand to come up with a better term.
For a while, WFA used tag line: “Wi-Fi: The Standard for Wireless Fidelity” but realized that was confusing things and was a mistake, so they dropped it.
Spell Wi-Fi as upper case W, lower case i, hyphen, upper case F, lower case i.
IoT: door locks, refrigerators, HVAC and home A/C, wearable devices, security cameras, etc
“All People Seem To Need Data Processing”
Or…
“Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza Away”
802.11 or 802.11 prime – 1997
802.11ax should be ratified by IEEE sometime this year (2018)
IoT: door locks, refrigerators, HVAC and home A/C, wearable devices, security cameras, etc
RTLS: hospitals (track IV pumps and patients too); retail, theme parks
IEEE 802.11 is the standard for Wi-Fi. Last revision has over 3500 pages!
DCF: Distributed Coordination Function
Wi-Fi is polite. Since it is half-duplex, it has to “take turns”
Roaming: Client makes roaming decision per the “secret sauce” of every AP manufacturer.
802.11 protocol (Wi-Fi) “avoids” collisions by using CSMA/CA
Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance
802.3 (which is Ethernet) uses CSMA/CD (collision detection)
STA: any Wi-Fi station (client or AP)
WM = Wireless Medium
CCA has two components
ED (Energy Detect) is listening for raw RF energy
CS (Carrier Sense) is listening for “preamble detection” or listening only for the preamble of the 802.11 the wireless frame
Virtual Carrier Sense uses NAV which has a timer that is set by using the duration ID values found in the MAC header of the frame
Duration ID is the value in a frame that a station uses to tell others how long it takes for that STA to complete the conversation
NAV is the time each station hears from a transmitting STA in the Duration ID.
All STAs then update
IFS – Interframe Space (could be SIFS, DIFS, AIFS, PIFS or EIFS)
Most IFS lengths are 9 or 20 microseconds
Random backoff value – arbitrary and selected by each client
Keeps all STAs from transmitting at same time (if all NAVs = 0)
CWNP is a great organization!
Next slide: The reason you all came out tonight—to get your Wi-Fi at home fixed!
Spectrum has default of 100/10 now, I think.
Get fastest you can as this is usually the bottleneck
WLAN engineers say “80% of wireless issues are client-related.”
Your ”Router” at home is a multi-function device: It is an AP and firewall and switch and router, etc.
Wi-Fi at home:
Incorrect settings by ISP
AP in center of home, if possible (not in corner under pile of clothes)
AP and NOT a “WAP”
Cisco Meraki – yearly/three-year subscription fee; these others do not.
Same SSID: You want to roam to the other AP, and the client always makes the roaming decision.
Drivers are probably the #1 item in this list!
2.4 –ONLY use channels 1, 6 or 11 (unless you are in middle of Montana!)
Use 5 GHz if at all possible, especially in congested neighborhoods, apartments or condos
UNII-1 and UNII-3 are always safe to use
UNII-2 and UNII-2 Ext are DFS channels – if detect radar, must change channel
Near and around airports
Near terminal doppler radar sites
For home use, usually OK to use, but be aware channel may change
Use “automatic” on channels in the 5 GHz band if there are a lot of other APs on this band.
Disable 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 – these are 11b rates (over 17 yr old technology). Eliminate protection mechanism and pm ripple
5 GHz: 6, 12, and 24 Mbps are usually the default settings
Firmware updates are done by looking in the web GUI on your router
New routers are $100 or less and will dramatically improve your home wireless network!
Recent ones on Amazon:
TP-Link Archer AC1750: $59.99
Netgear R6700 Nighthawk AC1750: $99.99
Asus AC1900: $139.99
Get an 802.11ac router (11n is older)
