Re: Wireless access by users with multiple devices

["King, Ronald A." <raking () NSU EDU>]

We just increased our DHCP scope from a /22 to /20 and it is already half
full with leases.  Our proxies took a beating.  We have since dedicated one
Squid proxy to Guest Wireless (no authentication).  On an average day, we
see 60,000 connection on it (keeping in mind that there are 2 to 4
connections for each client per one web request and each client could
initiate 10 to 20 or more connections from a single web page).  We are
restricting bandwidth and number of connections per client.  We are
currently working with our network team and IT administrative group for
solutions going forward as we expect it to get worse.

Subject: [SECURITY] Wireless access by users with multiple devices

 

We are currently grappling with the issue of concurrent wireless access by
users with multiple devices.  For those of you who may have dealt with this
already, do you have any thoughts, suggestions, recommendations surrounding
policies, strategies?  Thanks.
