Abstract
An access point providing a client device with access to a communication network detects an anomaly in packet traffic being transmitted to or received from the client device. In response, the access point performs a packet capture by triggering the release of stored packets. The access point determines an anomaly type representing a root cause of the anomaly and annotates the packet capture with the anomaly type. The access point also detects radio frequency interference exceeding a prescribed threshold and, in response, performs a spectrum capture. The packet capture, annotated with the anomaly type, and the spectrum capture are reported either automatically or in response to a request.
