This is too much !!! 2048 interfaces with a total of 4 beacon buffers
40 rx buffers and 200 tx buffers ? Has anyone tested this ?
Also think about embedded devices, we don't want to waste memory like
this...
As a sanity check, I can say I've seen AP vendors that permit 32 SSIDs
each with a unique BSSID/encryption, etc. I've never seen any device
that does more than that so 32 is a pretty reasonable max vif (the user
can always change it if desired, I'm looking at you openwrt team). Just
my 0.02$
Many standard off-the-shelf APs seem to support more than that, and certainly
hostapd based APs can. Maybe it could be 512 and let users on very tight
systems carry a small patch to make it smaller for their particular needs?
Thanks,
Ben
