We will need Bonjour in order to allow faculty members to mirror their iPads/WhateverAppleProductElse to an AppleTV in a classroom for presentations wirelessly. Presently we block all mcast and bcast on our WLAN due to the channel use overhead this incurs (anywhere from 10% to 20%). We'll be moving to Aruba this summer where enabling bcast and mcast is not an all or nothing endeavor I believe. I think Aruba is integrating some stuff into their controller code to help with this problem or already has it. Someone who knows more about Aruba can correct me if I'm wrong.

We are faced with the same issues here at BC... We are starting to block it for all students but have not for the Faculty. Could you give more details on what apps the faculty needed bonjour for? -Brian Brian J David Network Systems Engineer Boston College -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of Brian Helman Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2012 9:54 AM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] You knew it was coming...Airplay/Apple TV support for instructors. Agreed. We are blocking bonjour between buildings, but not within. I wanted to block within, but there are apps out there that the faculty want to use that require it. That was the compromise I settled on... looking forward to 802.11ac now. I thought my days of dealing with AppleTalk, IPX and Netbeui were done. -Brian -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of Kellogg, Brian D.

Had an Apple rep in recently and he stated Apple (Bonjour) has come a long way since Appletalk on their network protocols. I wanted to believe him and then I tried to use it on our campus. LAN only protocol that relies on mDNS registration to bridge networks assuming all your end devices support it of course. Reminds me of LAN/SOHO only protocols I worked with a decade ago. Why not allow the device being mirrored to specify the device you want to mirror to by IP address or FQDN. I don't think I'm asking for too much from the man but, alas, perhaps I am.

Would be interesting to contemplate a petition or similar from the Educause members to Apple requesting that they catch up to the fact that their toys are invading the enterprise, that the enterprise doesn't run on AirPorts, and therefor they might develop towards the enterprise WLAN, Then again, I doubt they'd give a rip. It's a shame that the sexiest devices on the planet have such shallow network development behind them. -Lee ________________________________________ From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] on behalf of Cappalli, Tim G @ LSC-ITS [tim.cappa...@lsc.vsc.edu] Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2012 4:36 PM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] You knew it was coming...Airplay/Apple TV support for instructors.
