    Abstract: In one embodiment, a supervisory device in a network forms a virtual access point (VAP) for a node in the network. A set of access points (APs) in the network are mapped to the VAP as part of a VAP mapping and the node treats the APs in the VAP mapping as a single AP for purposes of communicating with the network. The supervisory device receives measurements from the APs in the VAP mapping regarding communications associated with the node. The supervisory device identifies a movement of the node based on the received measurements from the APs in the VAP mapping. The supervisory device adjusts the set of APs in the VAP mapping based on the identified movement of the node.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, an illustrative method herein may comprise: receiving, at a first edge device, a direct indication from a second edge device that a mobile device has moved from the first to the second edge device; determining, based on the direct indication, a first time at which the mobile device attached to the second edge device; receiving a network routing update message indicative of a routing update for the mobile device having moved to the second edge device; determining, based on the network routing update message, a second time at which convergence completed at the first edge device; and calculating a convergence time for the mobile device to be detected as having moved to the second edge device based on a difference between the first time and the second time.
