Do you have any specific points you were not happy with. I think it worked much better than the DC11 wifi network and I don't remember any major problems. The major problems I remember were with the DHCP server (initially too short lease time which lead to a flood of DHCP requests and disk io (fsync) starvation on the server) and the media converters. > > (And core switches should have STP configured, or better some more rapid > anti-loop protocol.) In the one incident where someone created a loop as far as I remember only the branch with the loop was shut down. While debugging the the problem we were initially mislead by unrelated kernel messages on homer I think.
