Methods and apparatus to determine virtual wifi data rate

At least one non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to at least:

• capture control frames from a user device;
• calculate a bitrate for each control frame by dividing a bitmap of a control frame by an amount of time between the control frame and a previously captured control frame;
• control a length of time that the control frames are captured before calculating a virtual bandwidth;
• and
• calculate the virtual bandwidth after the length of time, the virtual bandwidth calculated by dividing an average bitrate from the control frames by the length of time.

A method to determine virtual bandwidth, the method comprising:

• capturing control frames from a user device;
• calculating a bitrate for each control frame by dividing a bitmap of a control frame by an amount of time between the control frame and a previously captured control frame;
• controlling, by executing an instruction with a processor, a length of time that the control frames are captured before calculating the virtual bandwidth;
• and
• calculating the virtual bandwidth after the length of time, the virtual bandwidth calculated by dividing an average bitrate from the control frames by the length of time.
