    摘要: A hybrid device can implement functionality to automatically configure itself to form a home network with other network devices. If it is determined that the hybrid device is the central access point of a hybrid network, operating parameters are determined for the central access point. The central access point can then operate in conjunction with other non-CAP hybrid devices of the hybrid device to determine how to configure the non-CAP hybrid device. The configuration of the non-CAP hybrid device can be determined based, at least in part, on a communication link performance measurement between the CAP and the non-CAP hybrid device. Furthermore, the hybrid network can also be monitored to ensure that the hybrid devices do not repeatedly or randomly switch between different configurations.

    摘要: A first access point (AP) detects a communication between a client device and a second AP. The first AP determines at least one criteria for AP steering is satisfied. AP steering is then used by the first AP to cause the client device to associate with the first AP, or a particular network of the first AP. For example, the first AP may transmit a disassociation message to the client device. The disassociation message may identify the second AP associated with the client device and cause the client device to disassociate from the second AP. After the client device disassociates from the second AP, the client device may select and associate with the first AP. The first AP may manage which network the client device associates with using a blacklist at the first AP.

    摘要: A hybrid device 102, 118, 120, implementing multiple networking technologies (e.g., wireless local area network (WLAN) technologies, powerline communication technologies, Ethernet, etc.) by means of respective interfaces 114, 116, 112, 110, can be configured to execute operations to select singleton coordinating functionality in a hybrid communication network 100. ln one example, a single master device (e.g., a hybrid device configured as both a registrar and a central access point, CAP) can be selected. The hybrid device can transmit search messages to detect an existing master device and/or to identify other hybrid devices contending to become the master device. The hybrid device with the preferred device identifier is selected as the master device. In another example, operations for selecting the coordinating functionality are split into two independent stages - a CAP selection stage and a registrar selection stage. ln the CAP selection stage, the hybrid device with at least a preferred device weight is configured as the CAP. ln the registrar selection stage, similar operations can be executed to select the registrar. The registrar is preferrably a IEEE P1905.1 registrar. ln addition to the CAP and the registrar, a standby CAP and a standby registrar may be selected. CAP 102 is coupled to network gateway 124 via a single communication medium such that it is directly connected to an external network (e.g. the Internet). A hybrid device's weight may be based on a number of WLAN communication bands.

    摘要: Seamless path switching is made possible in a multi-hop network based upon stream marker packets and additional path distinguishing operations. A device receiving out-of-order packets on the same ingress interface is capable of determining a proper order for the incoming packets having different upstream paths. Packets may be reordered at a relay device or a destination device based upon where a path update is initiated. Reordering packets from the various upstream paths may be dependent upon a type of service associated with the packet.
