I have a hotspot that often has 1200 concurrent users. I’d like to take advantage of the performance boosts in v3 but I’m also very worried about hotpost bugs and other issues in the new software. Is v3 hotspot ready for production environments?
I’m using a hotspot on ROS 3.10 on a RB532A and so far it works ok. I did have a scary moment at startup when the transparent-proxy delivered proxy error messages to all users during the redirect phase of the login process. After reading some posts on this subject, I disabled transparent-proxy on the hotspot users profile and found that a reboot is necessary to actually make it turn off.
This hotspot has been working fine for about 2 weeks. It’s the head end of a mesh network of 10 wireless nodes, all bridged onto the hotspot subnet.
My actual usage is very low. Others have posted problems with web proxy under heavy load. I don’t have a heavy load, so no problems so far.
With such a large hotspot, I’d wait until the MT folks have figured out what’s up with the web proxy before deploying 3.10 in production.
Just my personal opinion.
