Hello Nancy, eduroam in a bus, this is exciting!
3 things that come to my mind as far as eduroam is concerned for your design: 1) Not helpful, more of a heads up: The connector agreement with Internet2 asks to not connect Wi-Fi networks that you don't own/control (in this case you are running the APs, so it is complicated). The main intention of that statement in the contract is to make sure that you can access logs in case of abuse/DMCA and that those logs are respected as far as privacy of users is concerned (GDPR etc…), and that locations don’t start connecting everyone and anyone in the neighborhood or beyond. So, when you connect infrastructure make sure that it is or it stays under your control and ownership. 2) If you want to remove the responsibility of connecting those experiments/unusual infrastructure connect them directly to us (ANYROAM). Anyone connecting their Wi-Fi as SP-only (Service Provider Only, your Wi-Fi only) incurs no charge. The other beauty of connecting directly to us, we will send you usage reports about the bus independently from UFL. This said, in your case, because so many students of UFL will be on that bus, it makes more sense to connect it to your own RADIUS servers for latency and shortest path. So much for 1) and 2) …but I had to explain the reasoning :) 3) So, if you decide that you prefer to handle this locally, no problem, we can still send you independent reports! If you are interested in that feature (we are developing this feature right now), stamp your requests coming from the bus with a different operator-name. You can do this either in your Wi-Fi controllers or your RADIUS servers. Stamp it with 1bus.ufl.edu <http://1bus.ufl.edu/> (basically 1*.ufl.edu <http://ufl.edu/>). 1flu.edu <http://1flu.edu/> is your main Operator-Name. This idea of stamping with a sub-realm in the Operator-name is the same for all eduroam operators in the US. If you want to differentiate various service locations in your reports, you will be able to do this in the future. It will appear in your Bar chart as a bar with different colors withing the bar for each sub-Operator (so don't have too many or it will be unreadable!). If you have cool eduroam locations that you have enabled please share with us. (e.g. in the town of Blacksburg, VA, next to Virginia tech, a local ISP (GoGig) has turned eduroam on across town. We have seen a peak usage of 7800 devices in a day…amazing!)
