Wireless LAN Controller Throughput

[mukesh.patil]

Experts,

Assume  the below scnario

Wireless Clent = 6000 all AC supported

AP = AC supported 3700 

WLC = 55xx or 57xx ??

5508 = 8 Gbps throghput

5760 = 60 gbps throughput 

Which controller should i plan for this scnario and why?

do you have 6000 clients or 6000 wireless endpoints, if you have 6000 clients, then easily you have 12000 endpoints and 5508 supports only 7000 end points , if you have 6000 end points including wireless guest then my next question is do you want the traffic to be centrally switches or locally switched ??

What is recommended configuration of larger campus with 6000+ 802.11ac supported client? Why?

since you dint mention anything about 3850s with IP base I am assuming you are not at all looking at converged access.
