USENIX ‘08
Just back from USENIX ‘08 in Boston. The conference went very well from a networking perspective. We had plenty of bandwidth and hardware to cover demand. The Xirrus Arrays donated to us again were extremely useful in serving our larger rooms. I finally got around to figuring out how to pull association data from them and stuff it into rrd. Here’s a graph of the array serving the refereed papers track:
Each color represents a radio; the array has 16 radios – 4 A/B/G and 12 A only. The thing that I was most surprised by is the number of associations to the 802.11A only radios. We have an SSID assigned the A radios that is separate from the A/B/G radios, so it is easy for attendees to pick the A frequencies.
