of users are involved - on wired and wireless networks.

PacketFence provides an impressive list of supported features. Among 
them, there are :

    * Registration of network components through a captive portal
    * Automatic isolation, if desired, of unwanted devices such as Apple 
iPod, Sony PlayStation, wireless access points and more
    * Instant stopping of computer worms or virus propagation
    * Blocking of attacks on your servers or other network components
    * Compliance for computers present on your network (software 
installed, particular configurations, etc.)

PacketFence is an unobtrusive solution that works with equipment from 
many vendors (wired or wireless) such as Cisco, Nortel, Hewlett-Packard, 
Enterasys, Accton/Edge-corE, 3Com, D-Link, Intel, Dell and many more.
