Just wanted to mention that we have implemented PacketFence in our
ResNet and we planning on deploying it on our wireless network.
PacketFence is a great open source tool that I would recommend to anyone
who is evaluating a NAC implementation.

The I2 NetAuth working group has been keeping a list of commercial and
open-source vendors in the NAC space.  Check out the Wiki:

Commercial Products

(now up to 39)

Open Source

Cisco Clean Access (Perfigo) is also popular in the higher ed market.
For
open-source, PacketFence has been also doing well (disclaimer I am
also
a co-creator :)

Speaking of NAC/NAP, is anyone looking at any products besides
Bradford
and Impulse?

P.S. I'm expecting to define the border of our network as any
connection
on campus and any remote connection by a campus user (SSL VPN,
etc...).
I imagine this will continue to get fuzzier.

I am just a bit curious how you define the border of your network?
