Cool.

Probably takes even less than 100ms. It's a trivial xmlrpc message.

> In my viewpoint, the most important question in the Sat. stress test is whether we should use 1 AP or 3 AP. If it is feasible to register 50 PC via one AP simultaneously, then we are safe. Because it means that we can register 150 XO in chanenls 1, 6,11 simultaneously in SiChuan school. Then we can finish registering 450 XO in 3 rounds. What do you think?

Ummm ummm... the registration is a one-time thing so I haven't
"optimised it". I'm sure you'll find it's fast enough :-)

The number of APs however, is very important for performance in the
school, while in use.

I'm sure you can register 150 XOs on one AP if you go switching them
off as you are done, for example, but that's not a very useful metric.
The important thing is what happens when students want to use the XOs.
And there the main factors are the RF properties of the location and
the quality of the APs.

And the patience of your users :-) but I suspect that past ~40 XOs per
AP the network will become unusable.

hope that help!
