I think that's where we are headed now that we have more bandwidth. But we are still throttling the public Wi-Fi virtual LAN so that the public (packets) gets a lower priority access to bandwidth than museum uses. We use something called "Quality of Service (QoS) to control how much bandwidth the public gets. We can also throttle by data type, so if we are doing a video conference (streaming video packets), we'll slow down email packets and Web traffic so there are no freezes in the video or dropouts in the audio.
