If we are going to install CAT-5, it is much simpler and efficient to 
deploy standard WiFi access points.

There are two simple optimizations that will go a long way in dense

* setting the TTL of the mDNS announcements to 1 (the infamous 
per-socket-ttl driver patch)
* setting the multicast rate to 11 or 36Mbps.
