What so CISCO has to write special code to deal with iPhones?

Protocol is protocol, it is defined and a standard.  Who is at 
fault?  Well it depends more clearly on what the fault actually was.

"Because 80 iPhones connected to the network" means nothing.  200 
laptops probably connect too - why do they not exhibit the same problem?

Has the iPhone problem happened on other networks not using CISCO?

All these questions and more in the next exciting episode.
