# PEEKREMOTE packets. This kind of traffic is generated by access points and is send via UDP to a specified IP address and port. To analyze this traffic, the endpoint mode has to be enabled on an interface which receives this traffic. In the [[Global settings#Endpoint mode|endpoint mode configuration]], an IP address and port can be configured for which the Allegro Network Multimeter accepts packets. PEEKREMOTE packets usually do not contain complete IP packets, only 802.11 statistics that are evaluated by the Allegro Network Multimeter. | # PEEKREMOTE packets.
