    Abstract: Infrastructure-based client management uses synthesized beacon reports to effect client association with APs in a wireless digital network. Beacon reports are synthesized by having a plurality of APs in the network collect client reports and send those reports to a report process on the network. The report process accumulates client reports from the plurality of APs and selects one or more candidate APs to support a client. Selection may be made on reported SNR, AP loading, channel loading, AP characteristics, or a combination. The report process may produce blacklists and optionally whitelists for use by APs to use in processing client probe and connection requests.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a system and computer-readable storage medium for storage of software directed to the management of associations between network devices is described. The computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed by at least one hardware processor on a network device, causes performance of operations, comprising: (1) determining a desired operating state for a client device under analysis, the client device being associated with a first network device of a plurality of network devices; (2) detecting if a triggering event has occurred based on a comparison of the desired operating state for the client device under analysis to an actual operating state for the client device under analysis; and (3) in response to detecting that the triggering event has occurred, causing the client device to wirelessly connect to a second network device of the plurality of network devices in lieu of the first network device.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system for dynamic transaction-persistent server load balancing. The disclosed system receives a client request associated with a new transaction. In response to receiving the client request, the system dynamically infers relative capacities of a plurality of servers coupled to the device in a network. In particular, the system maintains a set of variables corresponding to the servers. Each variable indicates a number of outstanding requests transmitted from the device to a respective server. The system infers relative server capacities and transmission latencies between the device and the servers based on a comparison of current values of the variables. The system identifies and selects a server associated with high capacity or low transmission latency between the device and the server relative to one or more other servers, and transmits an outstanding request corresponding to the client request from the new transaction to the identified server.

    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a network device and method for advertising channel load. The disclosed network device aggregates a number of clients that are associated with the network device on a specific wireless communication channel, and advertises the aggregated number to a client on the specific wireless communication channel. Further, the network device can receive aggregated load information on the specific wireless communication channel from another management network device, and further aggregates the load information across multiple wireless networks operating on the same wireless communication channel and coupled to different management network devices.

    Abstract: Example implementations relate to neighboring network devices. For example, a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource can cause a computer to determine a characteristic affecting a subset of a plurality of network devices. The instructions can cause the processing resource to determine that at least two of the subset of the plurality of network devices that are affected by the characteristic are neighbors. The instructions can cause the processing resource to indicate a region to be associated with each network device of the subset based on the determination that at least two of the subset of the plurality of network devices are neighbors.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for configuring and managing mesh nodes during occasional failure of mesh nodes or addition of new mesh nodes. The disclosed system first determines whether a mesh node is a mesh portal or a mesh point. If it is a mesh portal, the mesh node will advertise its capacity as a mesh portal to other mesh nodes in the network. If it is a mesh point, the mesh node attempts to automatically recover connection to the wireless mesh network if it identifies a unique wireless network based on its associated network identifier. If more than one network identifiers are discovered, the mesh node delays establishing connection to the wireless mesh network until a selection is received.

    Abstract: In some examples, a non-transitory computer-readable medium may contain instructions executable by a processing resource to collect Wi-Fi data points. The Wi-Fi data points may correspond to a plurality of users of an enterprise for a particular number of days. In some examples, the Wi-Fi data points may indicate a time period during each of the particular number of days when each of the plurality of users was connected to a Wi-Fi network. Instructions may further be executable to determine that a subset of the Wi-Fi data points represent outliers and remove the subset of Wi-Fi data points to create a data set. The data set may comprise non-outlier Wi-Fi data points. Instructions may further be executable to determine a Wi-Fi Adoption Index (WAI) for each of the plurality of users based on the data set.
