The Changing Usage of a Mature Campus-wide Wireless Network
Dartmouth College has put out a really interesting technical report about the way that use of their 802.11 Wi-Fi network has changed over time.
Part of their abstract:
We employ several measurement techniques, including syslogs, telephone records, SNMP polling and tcpdump packet sniffing. This is the largest WLAN study to date, and the first to look at a large, mature WLAN and consider geographic mobility. We compare this trace to a trace taken after the network’s initial deployment two years ago.
The 21-page report makes good reading, and you don’t need a PhD in computer science to understand it. Highly recommended!

The idea that consciousness is widespread is attractive to many for intellectual and, perhaps, also emotional
reasons. But can it be tested? Surprisingly, perhaps it can.
