I've been studying EDCA some time now, and will be implementing it for my thesis.
We really should somehow coordinate our efforts.

Currently I'm developing a small tool to visualize the QoS later on.

Its basic idea is based on this screenshot from Yavista

Not as colorful and detailed, but much more hackish: (temporary screenshot)

It just plots time events from debug output. Events are points in time with a duration and some labeling.
