Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes selecting at a network device, seed access points from a plurality of access points and assigning each of the seed access points to a wireless network controller. The seed access points join the assigned wireless network controllers before the remaining access points join the wireless network controllers. Each of the remaining access points is associated with one of the seed access points and joins the same wireless network controller as the seed access point. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method comprises determining, by an apparatus, a pattern of frequency band capabilities of wireless client devices relative to respective wireless Media Access Control (MAC) addresses of the wireless client devices, the determining based on a machine-based classification of the wireless client device capabilities relative to the respective MAC addresses; classifying a new wireless client device based on classifying the corresponding MAC address of the new client device relative to the pattern; and steering the new wireless client device to an available wireless band based on the classifying of the new wireless client device.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for delivering data to a wireless client device in a wireless local area network via a plurality of access point devices as the wireless client device roams from one access point device to another. A wireless client device receives data communications (i.e., traffic) via a first wireless access point device in the wireless local area network. An impending roam of a wireless client device is detected. A set of one or more candidate wireless access point devices other than the first wireless access point device is determined to which the wireless client device may potentially roam. The one or more wireless access point devices in the set are assigned to a multicast group, and the traffic is sent to the multicast group.

Abstract:
Techniques are presented herein to provide human mobility pattern based modeling and tracking of a group of network enabled user devices associated with the same person. An association is made, at a tracking device, between a plurality of user devices and a user. Location information for each of the plurality of user devices is derived through network activity of the plurality of user devices. Locations for the plurality of user devices are derived from the location information. One or more predetermined user mobility pattern rules are applied to the plurality of user devices. User anomalies are detected when the tracked locations indicate that one or more of the plurality of user devices has violated one or more the predetermined user mobility rules.

Abstract:
Techniques are provided for delivering data to a wireless client device in a wireless network via a plurality of access points as the wireless client device roams from one access point to another. A wireless client device receives data via a first wireless access point in the wireless network. An impending roam of a wireless client device is detected. A set of one or more candidate wireless access points other than the first wireless access point is determined to which the wireless client device may potentially roam. The one or more wireless access points in the set are assigned to a multicast group, and the traffic is sent to the multicast group. A message containing a synchronized context enables a new wireless access point to send data to the wireless client device from a point where the first wireless access point stopped sending data to the wireless client device.
