what's your biggest subnet for the wireless?
Our entire wireless network is one /19, but our wireless system is a Cisco lightweight that does "clever" things with broadcast, DHCP and ARP traffic. However, we have lots of wired subnets which are /21, some with >1000 hosts on them.
How do you deal with excessive broadcast protocols?
We do nothing. We used to be very worried about this, but in practice we've found it's a non-existent problem. The world isn't 10Mbit/half-duplex ethernet any more ;o) (Layer2 security is a different matter)
