    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for seamless roaming in a network. First, a client device is authenticated at a first access point of the network. Next, a processor selectively determines, among remaining access points in the network, second access points at which respective precursor keys, such as Pairwise Master Keys R1 (PMK-R1s) are to be computed. The second access points are determined based on any of respective path losses from the first access point to the second access points and respective historical frequencies at which the client device associates at the respective remaining access points. For the second access points, the respective PMK-R1s are computed and transmitted to the second access points to be cached. Next, following a request from the client device to reassociate to a second access point of the second access points, the client device is authenticated at the second access point based on a corresponding PMK-R1.

    摘要: Some examples relate to controlling network traffic pertaining to a domain name based on a Domain Name System-Internet Protocol address (DNS-IP) mapping, An example includes receiving, in a cloud computing system, a local DNS-IP mapping for a domain name from respective Access Points (APs) in a virtual local area network (VLAN) along with geographical information of respective APs; generating a global DNS-IP mapping database comprising the local DNS-IP mapping for the domain name received from respective APs in the VLAN along with geographical information of respective APs, in the cloud computing system; and determining appropriate APs to distribute the global DNS-IP mapping, based on location information of respective APs.

    摘要: Some examples relate to distributing application classification entries to network devices. An example includes receiving, by a processing resource in a cloud computing system, an application classification entry for an application from respective network devices on a network. The application classification entry may comprise a given application identifier for identifying the application and control information for routing a network packet originating from the application. For the given application identifier, the processing resource may generate a consolidated set of application classification entries, based on the application classification entry received from respective network devices. The processing resource may then determine appropriate network devices to distribute the consolidated set of application classification entries.
