So I was looking at the YDI BCU and they say you can install one at your noc set up some general rules and it will greatly help on an open system or any system for that matter especially with the hidden node problem (install at noc fix problems with hidden note remotely herm? Lol) but it looked interesting because of the autodiscovery of mac addresses but the problem is the bcu is 3grand and its kinda a large investiment with money being tight lately im not so sure of if it's the right choice. I mean the usability of it is great it looks like and I know ydi is rock solid. But I would really rather have the Simpletrap's themselves doing the management what do I do! Get the BCU or wait it out for simpletrap's to come out sometime in the future. I can't afford a financial mistake at this point L   Chris
