Abstract

A campus-wide wireless LAN has been implemented that combines the scalability of virtual LANs and the flexibility of switched Ethernet with the mobility of wireless LAN access. A suite of general purpose software tools has been developed and deployed to monitor the status of the network, measure the bandwidth utilization, control access to the network, and authenticate users
