Reporting

Bandwidth Report

The Bandwidth Report visualises data consumption across your WiFi network — total upload and download volumes by user, zone, device, or time period. Data is sourced from RADIUS accounting records so it accurately reflects real NAS-measured traffic.

The Bandwidth Report — total usage KPIs, upload/download area chart, and top-user ranking.

Data Source

All bandwidth figures are derived from RADIUS accounting records collected in real time from your NAS (Network Access Server / access controller). The data reflects what the NAS actually measured at Layer 2/3 — not estimated or sampled figures.

Bandwidth totals may differ slightly from your NAS's own reports if some Accounting-Stop packets were lost in transit. Kiwire processes all packets that arrive — any gaps are a network-level issue between the NAS and the RADIUS server, not a Kiwire calculation error.

Filters

Filter	Description
Date Range	The accounting period to include — can be a single day, week, month, or custom range
Zone	Limit bandwidth data to sessions originating from a specific zone
Device / NAS	Filter to accounting records from a specific access controller
User	Show bandwidth for a single user account (supports partial username match)
Profile	Limit to users subscribed to a selected access profile

Charts

Bandwidth Over Time — Stacked area chart with separate series for upload and download. Daily granularity for ranges up to 90 days; hourly for ranges of 7 days or less.
Top Users by Bandwidth — Horizontal bar chart ranking the top 10 heaviest users by combined (upload + download) data consumption in the period.
Zone Comparison — Bar chart comparing total bandwidth consumed per zone — useful for identifying which physical areas drive the most network load.

Key Metrics

Metric	Description
Total Download	Sum of all bytes downloaded (Acct-Output-Octets) in the period
Total Upload	Sum of all bytes uploaded (Acct-Input-Octets) in the period
Combined Total	Download + Upload combined
Average per User	Combined total divided by the number of distinct users with sessions in the period
Top 10 Users	Ranked list of heaviest consumers with individual download, upload, and combined totals
By Zone	Per-zone breakdown — download, upload, and total for each zone
By Time of Day	Hourly average consumption — identifies peak network load hours for capacity planning

If a single user consistently appears at the top of the Top 10 list with unusually high consumption, consider applying a bandwidth quota to their access profile or investigating their usage pattern.
