James, that’s 600Mbps for the building. LOL! That said, on all of our 11ac WAPs including the Cisco 3800-series, even in our dense areas, the AP’s are auto-picking 80Mhz channel-width. From the client stats, many of them are at a tx: rate of 867 to 1300 in the residential halls.
Clients are mostly Apple, and mostly 11ac-cablable. My 1st-gen Macbook Pro touch easily does 600Mbps against the 3800-series. Last year I only had one building on the 3800-series and when compared to a similar building using the 3700-series, the 3800-residential hall was 10-30x the amount of traffic. I’m seeing similar performance in four others updated to the 3800-series this summer. Everything else being equal, the 3800-series appear to offer a new level of performance over last generation. I suspect it has a lot to do with the new OS underpinning them. As for the traffic, it’s a general mix of everything you expect to see in a residential hall, but given most of the steaming services adjust bases on available bandwidth, it looks like most are now getting the highest bit rates possible.

Pair of 8540’s running 8.2.160 About half of all WAPs are now 2800/3800. 3800’s on multi-gig 20Gb Internet connection 3800-series equipped 110-bed residence hall, partially filled with a few early arrivals, already seeing peaks at over 600Mbps. No observed problems yet, but our first-years just arrived and returning student are due soon. Interesting stats: #1 - 70% of devices are Apple, 90% of traffic. On the 1st day our 330 first-years arrived they did over 12TB of traffic.

It might be beneficial to share notes in case other schools are hitting common problems. I’m wondering how everyone who is in the thick of it is faring with back-to-school? On this end, we are doing OK halfway to our expected total daily peak clients (we’re at 15K now high water mark).
