    I would like to ask how much BW would consume the airwave.

     

    Let say a client with 25 APS and one controller? is airwave a big BW consumer?

     

    Have the idea that the airwave will be in a central site

     

    And let say that it will supoprt for example

     

    100APS and 4 controllers but they will be reaching the airwave through internet.

     

    Cheers

    Carlos

    I think it would probably only be about 100 kbps tops.

     

    Off the top of my head, I manage an Airwave with 16 controllers and about 500 APs and I think it's on average about 600 kbps.

    According to our netflow collector, Airwave talking to an iAP cluster is around 300bps sustained.

    We're not yet collecting flow data from our controller sites, so I can't speak to that.

    Monitoring:

    568 iAP (32 Clusters)

     1x3400 controller with 26 AP

     4x3600 controllers with 6, 94, 96 and 121 AP respectively

     1x3600 master controller

     plus a few switches and a router or two

     

    the switchport where airwave connects shows 42kbps outbound and 340kbps inbound
