It has not gone down, crashed or stopped working.
It gives greater control of providing policies across the network to multiple APs
Handles upwards of 200 APs. Stress tested the APs and they worked really well. Works really well on a layer 2 environment with locations throughout the state. Doesn't need as many APs as the 9500 series Wireless Lan Controller.
