William: Thanks for sharing. Have you come up with a median/max bandwidth usage in Mbps per AP, and/or per student?

We do track external bandwidth usage and enforce quotas for wireless use (different amounts based on role-- and users can purchase additional bandwidth). For Spring '07, the long term aggregate wireless usage accounted for 12% of total commodity Internet consumption for campus. From Spring '06 to Spring '07 there was a 116% increase in bandwidth consumption by wireless users. In contrast, median departmental host consumption only increased 20%. This is congruent with the increase in connect times the report showed in addition to the increased number of users. The median consumption of external bandwidth by an individual wireless users is only 27MB/week -- the base allocation is 500MB/week for students. We see ~3% of students moved to the second class network (56Kbps modem off campus speeds) in any week for exceeding allocations. Needless to say, we're ordering more bandwidth for this fall... >I didn't see anything in this report correlated bits used in relation to >users.
