We are getting ready to put 1810s in our residence halls mounted with the new cradles.
A follow-up question. Do any of you do rate limiting per device or per student? If so, what solution/appliance do you use and how is it working? As part of our project we are upgrading our backbone from 1Gbps to 10Gbps, so a lot bigger pipe to each building. On Oct 26, 2016 9:52 AM, "Jeffrey D.
