We've started to look at HREAP as well, and initial very small scale
tests show it works fine. We've not yet:

a) gone into the management side of things which you mention (HREAP
groups) but we already automate AP group management for SSID
propagation so I imagine it would be along similar lines.

b) or done any roaming tests.

So I'd also be grateful for any feedback on how that performs.

We are actually using HREAP to avoid hairpinning local LANs to the
controllers in the backbone, not for service survivability in the
case of loss of controller.

Hence us using 802.1X authN on the locally switched SSIDs is not
going to be a problem.

As I say any feedback at all from HREAP users out there would be
welcome!

regards,
