James, GTK's are shared between the access point (radio) and all the clients associated to it and not at the broader SSID level. We use Aruba wireless and they have the ability to turn BC/MC traffic into unicast and prevent it from being flooded back out into the air. You can also manage your

You mentioned load balance mode, were you running band-steering and spectrum-load-balancing at the same time on the same APs? Check with Aruba, but I think they will tell you this is not a recommended practice and better to stick with band-steering only assuming your coverage will support both

I would say take a close look at the 100M ports connected to your N or AC APs and check for output drops. We've seen this in some locations where we we're careful about refreshing with N AP's. It likely comes at peak times so if you're just graphing the in/out you will miss it. Don Wright Brown
