Apparently there isn't any known tool to analyze this (these) bug.
>From a large set of Mac, AEBS, and AirPort Express access point
I arrived to the conclusion that the 3 following software:
AirPort 4.2 (AppleAirPort2 extension)
AEBS 5.6 firmware
AX 6.2 firmware
share a memory leak when used with many clients "connected".
In each case a downgrade suppressed the bug.
Apple did remove the 5.6 and 6.2 firmware from their web server.
Unfortunatelly every user who has an AirPort 4.2
will be invited to upgrade his AEBS or AX everytime he
will use AAU (AirPort Admin Utility).
Hence there will be a highly increasing number of
users with AirPort network problems.
Best regards.
