I'd agree that the protocol should be 'fixed' here and not re-design the underlying network to support a particular service. (note that other service discovery protocols have the same issue - SSDP, WS-Discovery) To that end, I was curious if anyone had tried/is using DNS-SD (unicast) to support

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] High client density WiFi?

It's a tricky answer as I think every dense client situation is unique. From the start, if your client base supports it, using 802.11a will make it easier given more channels to make use of. 500 clients also includes 500 potential problems for everyone else. Although a special event, we do so
