The tool collects wireless traces from home networks. It collects Physical layer and MAC layer information per frame. It collects physical layer information as queuing delays, errors counters, signal strength in the device driver. At the mac layer, it collects the mac-layer headers. We collect anonymized mac address of the device as a unique id. We do not collect any sensitive information regarding users like the IP address of the websites visited, or any other information at the IP layer.
