Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] wireless per user bandwidth control with 11n
We kind of do... We shape the bandwidth of all of our student subnets at our internet pipe. Internal bandwidth is only limited by the speed of the link. Sam Stelfox Network Administrator Vermont Technical College Dennis Xu wrote: We have been doing per user bandwidth control (1.5Mbps) for years (just increased it to 3M this fall). As we are installing new 11n APs for mixed deployment with legacy clients, this bandwidth cap would disappoint 11n users. I want to ask the group: 1. Do you still use per user bandwidth control for 11n deployment? If you do, what is the your bandwidth cap? 2. If you don't apply bandwidth control, do you see any problems?

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] wireless per user bandwidth control with 11n
We shape at the internet pipe as well... we only shape when user loads dictate it, then we extend a per user bandwidth contract for the affected AP's -Original Message- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:wireless-...@listserv.educause.edu] On Behalf Of Sam Stelfox Sent: Friday, September 25, 2009 10:05 AM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] wireless per user bandwidth control with 11n We kind of do...

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] wireless per user bandwidth control with 11n
Denis, We run 802.11n across campus but we shape sentitive SSIDs per user eg: visitors registered by email get 256 kps, sponsored visitors get 10 Mbps, WPA2 based SSID is unlimited eduroam SSID is unlimited Doing it per SSID allows us to fully take advantage of the 802.11n capacity for users that we trust, and limit all other users.
