3Com Wireless LAN Mobility System Competitive Resiliency Evaluation

Abstract

3Com Corp. commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate the resiliency feature of its WLAN controller cluster and compare that to a comparable solution from Cisco Systems, Inc.

Tolly Group engineers measured the behaviors of different applications during the WLAN controller fail-over and recovery in three resilient network scenarios:

  • 1) 3Com controller cluster in a default High Availability configuration,
  • 2) 3Com controller cluster in a default HA configuration with local switching enabled, and
  • 3) Cisco’s resilient WLAN controller solution using the configuration designed for the minimum fail-over time.

    Engineers also evaluated the load-balancing feature of the 3Com Wireless LAN Mobility system during fail-over and recovery.
