Roger, Your answers are correct for all the questions. You can replace the AP on the NOC/WPoP and instantly get the bandwidth throttling for all your clients.
This distributed control allows very flexible and scalable network architecture. This is important in Wide Area Network deployments as you do not need to backhaul all the traffic to a central NOC. Backhauling cost money. As an example, you drop a T1 in Town A to support those subscribers. And drop another T1 in Town B to support subscribers in that locality. All the authentication and profiling can be done by a central NOC. Only the network management traffic needs to pass through the NOC, while the user data is independent.

Nish, does this mean that I only have to replace my NOC APs and I can throttle even customers behind repeater sites? If it's throttled by mac address, does that mean that if a user has 20 computers behind an airBridge and you throttle at 1Mbit, then those 20 customers share that 1Mbit since the airBridge is putting it's mac on all packets?
