We’re a much smaller campus, but we keep a handful of the oldest models in stock as spares – in the range of 4-5 APs. These serve a couple of purposes: · Temporary expansion of coverage for occasional events; we have locations where we may additional capacity 1 or 2 times a year. ·

We are an Aerohive shop. We keep a set of current models for deployment that serves as spare stock. With that said, based on the average turnaround time for RMA units, we’ve probably only had as many as 2 of a given model in use as a replacement for a failed unit at the same time once or

We don’t keep a percentage. We’ve got 13,000 APs, and we replace a handful each month. We make sure we’ve got a suitable replacement or substitute for all production gear, but we don’t necessarily keep a dedicated repair stock. The normal quantity that flows in and out of our shop is usually

We also have an instance of the Ookla speedtest at the University of Washington. One thing I notices is for clients on private IP space, the speedtest shows a NATed IP, even though the server is on campus. This is because not everything is local. Anyway, having someone send me a screenshot
