So far this semester we have seen 6,400 peak simultaneous users during the busiest hours of the week. We're running v4.1.185 code.
Across the 22 WLCs on 11 wism cards we're seeing typical CPU loads of 2-5% with occasional peaks to 20 and 25% on some of the WLCs. The worst CPU peak load I could find in the last 24 hours of data was 34%. -Charles Charles E.
