Thanks Bruce for the nice overview and +1 for the last remark. A search for battery drain and IPv6 gives you tons of hits. I tested the RA myth one year ago by two SSIDs with different RAs (1 SSID with 500 RA/h and the other 30/h). Outcome: hardly any effect. (inspite of the RFC on this topic

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] eduroam AUP question

eduroam uses WPA2-enterprise (= RADIUS). A fundamental component of RADIUS is a client's validation of the RADIUS server's identity. As a consent to the supplicant, the user must check that identity. The authentication ALWAYS occurs end-to-end, at every institution you visit. Your OS stores

We use FlexConnect in both central and local switched mode (v 8.110.6). We use a single SSID and distinguish various user groups, differentiated by Radius and mapped on different VLANs. We observe that VLANs leak traffic to other VLANs. This is in particular very undesired with IPv6, where router
