The next problem is uniformly defining uptime for an enterprise/campus-wide service. How does the failure of a single AP (or a single switch if you're talking wired networking) impact your uptime number? The issue is even more nebulous for wireless since I would bet in most cases if you have a single AP out in most of our buildings, there's still some residual connectivity available from other nearby APs. -- Julian Y.
