    <p>About  50K devices with broken implementation of ACS Discovery.
      Instead of sending DHCP Inform, they send DHCP Discovery which is
      a trigger for session initialization on cisco services gateway. As
      a result a session is terminated. That's why I try to spread the
      load in time to cut load peaks.<br>

              <p>Ah, clear.  That means, it doesn't make any sense to
                bind this provision to a preset which executes on "2
                PERIODIC". I would tag a device as soon as a "random"
                value is set for the first time and skip tagged devices
                later. Does it sounds reasonable? If yes, this kind of

          <div>I wouldn't use tags for this. Do this in your bootstrap
            provision. Then it only executed once.</div>

    <p>Makes sense.</p>

          <div>You would need to patch sandbox.js and expose a

    <p>Will try to find a solution which doesn't require any kind of
      patch to keep installation upgradeable.</p>
