wpa_supplicant scalability

[David Waitzman]

For how many nodes maximum has wpa_supplicant been tested to work?
I see it builds a single MKPDU holding the whole Live and Potential Peer Lists.  With 16 bytes per peer and a typical MTU, that works out to about 100 peers maximum.  You could split the peer lists across multiple MKPDUs per the standards, which would fix that limit.  (but then other constraints might come into play.)
