 +For directed deauthentications, aireplay-ng sends out a total of 128 packets for each deauth you specify.  64 packets are sent to the AP itself and 64 packets are sent to the client. 
 + 
 +Here is what the "[ 61|63 ACKs]" means:
  
-Here is what the ouput looks like:+  * [ ACKs received from the client | ACKs received from the AP ] 
 +  * You will notice that the number in the example above is lower then 64 which is the number of packets sent.  It is not unusual to lose a few packets.  Conversely, if the client was actively communicating at the time, the counts could be greater then 64. 
 +  * How do you use this information?  This gives you a good indication if the client and or AP heard the packets you sent.  A zero value definitely tells the client and/or AP did not hear your packets.  Very low values likely indicate you are quite a distance and the  signal strength is poor.
