Our wireless controllers & WiSM's are deployed centrally.

We set up all our LWAPP AP's in H-REAP mode to take advantage of local switching, so that clients can access local resources w/o having to traverse all the way to the WiSM's and then back to the remote sites.

One WiSM cluster is deployed in the east coast, and one in the West Coast, because we were told the RTT for H-REAP should be <100ms.

We were told as long as we increase the EAP timer, H-REAP would work coast to coast.

My questions are:

Has anyone done it?

If it's true and works, exactly what variables and parameters should we set in terms of EAP?
