Very high number of wireless devices returning from break
All, It seems an alarmingly high number of wireless devices have returned to our campus this week. After at least of year of steadily increasing numbers, we are now seeing a roughly 40% increase since last December. At first I didn't believe what I was seeing and opened a case with the vendor to confirm reporting was accurate. Tied into this, we upgraded by a major version earlier this month and I thought this could be related. Apparently not the case, everything we've looked at tells us that the numbers are accurate. I'm still looking a stats, but haven't been able to come up with anything yet. Is anyone else seeing this magnitude of increase in devices over winter break ?

If you saw Apple's earning's they sold a ton over the holidays. It wouldn't be surprising to see a significant increase in wifi devices on higher ed campuses. /rf On Jan 26, 2012, at 11:09 AM, Wright, Don donald_wri...@brown.edu wrote: All, It seems an alarmingly high number of wireless devices have returned to our campus this week.

Same here, I've had to expand subnets for 15 buildings since the semester started (we give each building a subnet), and looking at the logs I've got another 5 or so that will need it in the near future. More buildings that used to be good on a /24 are requiring a /23, and buildings that had /23s are starting to need /22s.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Very high number of wireless devices returning from break
We are experiencing the same issues at here at Valencia College. On our larger campuses or average went from 1000-1500 to 6000-8000. We changed our authentication from BlueSocket to SafeConnect and we had the same concerns and had the vendor validate the counts. Our only thing we can think of is that the Bluesocket was limiting in some way and the additional devices students/faculty/staff are carrying has increased dramatically.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Very high number of wireless devices returning from break
We're seeing some of it, as well. Here at Rice University, we've seen an increase of approximately 800 network devices on wireless from 4 Dec 2011 to today. Our total on wireless 4 Dec was 6917, and on the 22 Jan 2012 it was 7794. Our wireless is primarily split between authenticated and visitor. We use Cisco WiSM's, and have our staff divided out on 8 /25's per WLC, and our students divided out on 8 /25's per WLC based on a hash done on radius server from their network ID. The hash is load-balanced to return staff01 or student03. This gives them a sort of stickiness, so they'll be in the same VLAN every time. However, obviously student03 is a different /25 on every WLC. With this load-balancing (of a sort), we haven't really seen any issues with the staff or student wireless. However, with the visitors, we use web-auth to force them to acknowledge the acceptable use policy, there is no radius return to load-balance. So, on the legacy APs (1000 series, we're in the process of upgrading) we use AP-Groups to assign a building, floor, or section to a specific visitor /25. We're moving towards using the VLAN-GROUP function in the 7.0.116.0 code for visitors, which will give us the ability to combine all 8 /25's for visitor on each controller. In the past, when large visiting groups come on campus, we have had issues with running out of DHCP leases (it's a /25, after all), but instead of increasing the broadcast domains (to a /24, or larger), we've opted to split the AP-Groups out even tighter than building - to a floor, or even a specific area (dining commons with 5 APs = one /25). All, It seems an alarmingly high number of wireless devices have returned to our campus this week. After at least of year of steadily increasing numbers, we are now seeing a roughly 40% increase since last December. At first I didn't believe what I was seeing and opened a case with the vendor to confirm reporting was accurate.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] [Spam:6.1 SpamScore] Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Very high number of wireless devices returning from break
For us, the swell in mobile devices started after Black Friday this season. I have tracking that covers four years. There was a slight adoption of mobile devices following Christmas 2 years ago, last years significant growth began just before the holiday but peaked afterward. Mobile has roughly doubled again this year - but almost entirely before the holiday. An interesting trend that we need to track is concurrent use. So far this semester we are seeing general computing devices less frequently so our pool utilization after the break thus far is equal to before the break totals... but, the peak is expected to hit around mid term when students have both devices active at the same time.

We are seeing a high number as well but it is in the anticipated increase. We have everything from clocks using ip to IPtv and all things wireless. We generally try and stay ahead of it or at least not fall behind on our wireless. We anticipate a reduction on wired devices by 90% next year and an increase of 150% on the wireless.

Re: Very high number of wireless devices returning from break
I would be interested in any research into mobile device IP address consumption folks could point us towards. We see curious address consumption behavior by mobile devices, but have not done the testing to determine if it is the device's OS consuming all the addresses (iOS is our campus' dominant mobile OS) or an artifact of our DHCP/802.1x/Controller configurations. We've seen a 12% device increase since the break (from 25K to 28K simultaneous connections), not as large an increase as reported by others. -- William C.
