Get just one customer with computer infected with some decent virus and it will generate 5000 packets per seconds, which may account to only 256kbps in raw traffic terms. But with regular Access Point this will bring your AP to the knees or even worse and there is NOTHING you can do about it. You could try to limit packet per second that customer but it will only happen after the traffic hits Access Point and will not stop the viri operation. Or get some customer with few uncapped p2p apps and you will see pretty much the same. Sorry, polling is the only way to go. Every mature network type uses some type of polling scheme (from cellular 'time slots' through WiMAX to all MMDS systems) and it's there for a reason. And it's one really good reason - performance. MattI see where you are getting at, but it isn't really relevant, atleastthe way I have my network setup. None of my customers have anuploadthat gets to even 40% (I don't do symmetrical upload, so the highest upload we offer is 2meg) and the access points handle it prettyeasilyat that rate. If you are offering a symmetrical service, then I will concede that polling is an important consideration. It is pretty easy to work around it if you are not offering symmetrical service, however.
