Jorge: Cisco inherited the REAP from Airespace (http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/102/reap_lap_wlc.pdf). It has its limitations (I don't have my notes to refer to, but I could find them if you needed), so Cisco has introduced the Hybrid REAP. "HREAP supports visibility into VLAN tagging, providing enterprises with the flexibility to determine which SSIDs will have data bridged locally and which will have data tunneled back to a controller. HREAP is a definite improvement over REAP and will be attractive to enterprises looking to provide small-scale wireless services for a multitude of branch offices."

You say you do not want to go back to Aironet? Aruba's security architecture requires all traffic to go back to a mobility controller, so for that reason Aruba has lower-end model (the 200) that you can place at the remote location so that traffic does not have to traverse the WAN. Trapeze has their MXR-2 and Meru Networks their MC-500. Colubris' architecture uses controllers only for the control place, not data. Another option is to back to 'fat' or 'thick' APs everywhere, but I'm guessing you want the controller-AP architecture for management reasons, but you could always consider an AP management product like AirWave or WaveLink.

We do not want APs at remote sites congesting those links for all its traffic that has to go back to the controller. Yes we are aware of the Cisco's wireless LAN controller module. If there is anyone who has implemented this out there and they could provide any information on this, it would be gratly appreciated. We also do not want to go back to using Aironet. Thanks.
