Re: Client Access Session Drops

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

make sure the routers are not spoofing (saying a device is active without
really knowing or checking).
also make sure routers are not throwing away the polling packets.
Many router engineers do this to cut net traffic, but the 400 requires being
able to poll a device.
