Thanks for the thread all, this is helpful. Interesting to hear of declines in clients/bandwidth in some cases. Crazy speculation -- with all four Tier 1 carriers offering unlimited, and the Gen Z supposed proclivity for mobile over traditional computing, I wonder if we will start to see more cellular first or only use from low intensity or low demand users. I suspect we will though I don't think that would account for 20% drop levels this quickly.

To ALL: I think it might be a bit early to report in, our students come back this weekend. This time of year is normally like a “frog in the pot”, every day for the next two weeks our counts just keep slowly getting higher and higher. We will see where it ends. We are an aruba shop with roughly 6,000 access points, we are peaking about 15,000 clients. We would expect about 30k so about half way there. Aruba controller code 6.5.2.1, we also have airwave, and clearpass. This year we completed our Dorm AP install and have about 3,000 205h and 303h installed, roughly every other room. We also have the wired side all connected through the controllers to provide the same “experience”. We started converting the campus wired to 802.1x or mac auth also with about 10 buildings done. We have eduroam, our own 802.1x and a mac auth SSID. We support guest and even allow facebook logins. We have seen two issues so far, 1. We have seen the aruba 3xx bug where 5ghz utilization is high if you have arm scanning enabled. We disabled Arm scanning for now. 2. We have seen clearpass deadlock issues (FDB and replication errors) based on the endpoint updates we do. We have spent all week working on removing unnecessary updates to see if it will help. So far so good. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss.
