Adaptive Solutions-Oriented WLAN Architecture surveys, network design, installation,
and training
Most WLAN solutions force network administrators to choose between a centralized or distributed
architecture. A significant advantage of Enterasys Wireless is that it can support both deployment
models simultaneously, offering significant flexibility benefits over other solutions. Network
administrators can assign a topology (centralized or distributed) via policy to an individual user
or group of users. A specific SSID can also be statically mapped to a given topology without any
restrictions, so that the wireless LAN infrastructure can efficiently adapt to customer-specific
business requirements and applications.

A centralized architecture requires all traffic to be backhauled to a centralized controller. With the
higher data rates of 802.11n APs, traffic loads on the wired network can be much greater than
those created by legacy 802.11a/b/g APs. Depending on the size of the WLAN deployment and
how much data is forwarded to the centralized controller, significant congestion may result.

A fully distributed deployment eliminates backhauling traffic to a controller but increases the
processing complexity for real-time mobile applications that require seamless cross-subnet
roaming (e.g. VoWLAN). This can force IT managers to either create a large broadcast domain or
apply many VLANs.
