Jamie,
We have a Bluesocket/Meru implementation. Both companies perform
broadcast suppression by using proxy ARP at the access points. Meru
also converts a lot of broadcast frames into unicast at the access
point for the same reason. In any event, I was apprehensive about the
move initially, but the claims seem accurate as the broadcast traffic
seems quite limited at individual clients.
Thanks.
Ken

Ken,
/20 subnets?.............I've always been concerned about such
a large broadcast domain.....ie....we've not gone larger than /22.
Have you done any special tweaking to facilitate the /20s or have
they just worked fine as is?
.....thx...........J

We are doing NAT/PAT at the edge with a firewall module in a 6500 for
our 5000 peak logged in users. We use four /20's to break up those
users across our wireless controllers. The wireless users are also not
the only ones being NATed at that firewall module. All of the dorm
wired users are NATed there too.
Thanks.
