I don't believe in over subscription rates. :)
For planning purposes, I assume we'll get 2/3's of advertised throughput
from the AP and then plan on 8:1.
In real life you have to abandon the over subscription rate after the
planning phase and monitor what's actually happening on the AP's.
Averaging hundreds of users together you'll get actual usage that seems
in line with an 8:1 or 6:1 ratio. On an individual AP you tend to not
have enough capacity for more than 30-50 people, so you can easily get a
few statistical outliers in the mix that make actual consumption not
line up with the planned over subscription rate.
It goes both ways too....I've seen sites with actual over subscription
of 20:1 and everything's working ok, and other actual sites fall apart
when oversub was only 4:1.

Subject: [AFMUG] Over subscription Rate
At what level do you over subscribe your APs? 4:1? 8:1? 15:1? Or
something else?
Thanks
