I have a much different take on this philosophy, and as part of the following work I want the reader to understand where my thought process was and my hypothesis on this phenomena. Why not? This is a free service we are offering and he should be grateful we even let him put his feet in the water of the nourishing pool of Wi-Fi we have built. I’ve heard about this taking place, and how administrators will always err on the side of the mission and life saving critical devices and make sure that Netflix guy in room 312 is forced to the kiddie pool of the Wi-Fi world as some sort of punishment. Inevitably, the discussion always turns to some user in some random room trying to watch everything Netflix and, in the process, messing up the network for the critical, sometimes lifesaving equipment that is forced to share the AP with this media hog. My goal in this effort is to gain a better understanding of what the network is subjected to, both wired and wireless, after the network, guest or otherwise, is deployed and users are let free to roam the nether reaches of the Interwebs looking at, and watching, everything that this freedom entails.
A great write up about that came from Lee Badman over at wirednot and if so inclined, he offers a decent insight to the thinking of the Wi-fi administrator who is met with this request. Guest are notorious for having wonky devices that are out of date and unwilling to admit that they need to pony up and purchase a new device that is up to some type of current standards. For some, this is a very dreaded request and usually met with angst and hand wringing. What is in the nature of Wi-Fi is the request to provide guest Wi-Fi. Oh well, my blog, my rules! In what needs to be an actual serious discussion that I can’t start serious, it’s just not in my nature. I am given to hyperbole and took full license while writing that first sentence. For years, purveyors of fine Wi-Fi systems the world over have spoken about the dreaded “Netflix Effect” in hushed tones while in dark corners.Īctually, I have no idea where or how they talk about it and I’m not even sure if it’s an official name or not.
