HREAP allows a boost b/c traffic is locally switched rather than tunneled back to the controller. Tunneling back to the controller may not be the shortest/best path to the destination, or the controller may also be a bandwidth bottleneck in heavily utilized networks.
I have only tested this on1250 APs, and the Cisco documentation was written when the 1250 series was the only 802.11n AP they had. However, I suspect it is the same on all of their 802.11n APs. But I have not verified this. If you test it on another AP let us know your results.
Why? What gives you this boost?

ReplyDeleteWill this only work for 1250s or can one use 1142s or the new 3600s? 1250s are big, ugly, heavy.
