Hi Alan, We're in the process of doing this too.
We're going to run a bridged backbone (mostly) with routing AP's. Mikrotik in our case. For IP space we went to ARIN and got our own (two upstreams on opposite sides of the network). We were able to get 8 class c's this way. We're also subnetting a LOT of network space. When we run out of space on an AP we'll just add another subnet to that AP and route it as well. Shouldn't be too big of a deal. Hope that helps! marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan Bryant" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, June 25, 2010 2:08 PM Subject: [WISPA] Network Redesign > We are in the process of redesigning our entire network from our > upstream all the way to the customer. > > Currently everything is bridged and on the same physical network. > Obviously we are wanting to change this for many reasons.
