    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products relating to anchoring a wireless device to a wireless controller. A type of a network device is identified based on data included in a network message received at a first wireless local area network (LAN) controller (WLC). It is determined, based on the identified type, that the network device should be anchored to a pre-determined anchor WLC. An anchor request message is transmitted from the first WLC to the pre-determined anchor WLC. A network traffic tunnel is established between the network device and the pre-determined anchor WLC such that network traffic from the network device can be controlled by the pre-determined anchor WLC.
