Duke runs both Cisco's distributed and autonomous APs, I believe. Kevin's report on EDUCAUSE mentioned autonomous APs, but with details as hazy as they are right now, I don't dare say whether one system or another caused or received the problem.

As I understand, Duke is using cisco wireless controllers to run their wireless network. Apparently there is some sort of interop issue where one system was aggravating the other to cause arp floods in rfc1918 space. We've seen 116 distinct iphones so far on our campus and have had sniffers watching arps all week to look for any similar nonsense. However, we are running the AP's in autonomous (regular ios) mode without any magic central controller box. Dale -- Dale W.
