[c-nsp] DHCP & NAT router limitations

[Rens]

Where do you get that info that a 1841 & 2811 can't do this?

They do fine average Internet traffic @ 50Mbps 

I got 2811's doing 100Mbps

 

Indeed my wifi setup can cope with 2K connections

For a one day wifi event I'm looking which kind of router can be used to
deliver DHCP & NAT for 1000-2000 simultaneous users

Total WAN capacity will be +- 50Mbps

Would a 1841 or a 2811 be able to handle all this NAT/DHCP?


Neither of these would cope with 50Mbps even without the NAT.

If you are purely Ethernet then the cheapest Cisco solution would be an
ASA5505

I assume you've already got a wifi setup that can cope with 2,000
connections.
