How do you handle the splash status of a user under roaming? Does a splash screen reoccur if the gateway is switched (NODE-2 -> NODE-3)? Because this switch will happen on a minutely basis if a user sits between two equally strong gateways.
Splashing is only done for clients which have a lease from this node. All other traffic gets just true (picopeer alike). After some minutes the information that "IPx/MAC must be shaped like..." is applied in the hole network. If the client only has a lease but is not "unsplashed" this information is also spread netwide.
A little bit ugly, but works and we have no memory or load problems anymore on the gateway. (~1000 clients)
