    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for resolving overlapping IP addresses for subnets assigned to uplink interfaces of a network switching device. As an example, a network switching device may determine that an IP address range of a first assigned subnet to a first uplink interface overlaps an IP address range of a second assigned subnet to a second uplink interface. The network switching device may generate a first map between the first assigned subnet and a first intermediate subnet, and generate a second map between the second assigned subnet and a second intermediate subnet, wherein an IP address range of the first intermediate subnet and an IP address range of the second intermediate subnet are non-overlapping.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for intelligently steering client devices operating in an enterprise network system to an appropriate access point based on types of traffic on each client device and/or types of traffic on access points. In particular, client devices may be moved to a different access point when the wireless channel provided by a current access point fails to meet the signal strength requirements of latency sensitive traffic utilized by the client device. Client devices may be further steered to new access points based on load conditions on access points. For example, client devices with low priority traffic sessions may be steered away from access points with high traffic load levels. Accordingly, the methods and systems described herein ensure improved network access for latency sensitive access categories and/or access categories that are considered important to an enterprise system with minimal disruptions to these sessions.

    Abstract: In an example, a system is described which includes a centralized controller, a first agent controller, and a second agent controller. The centralized controller executes a routing application to control routing of network traffic across links of a wide area network. The first agent controller is deployed at a branch location of the wide area network to notify the routing application when a host at the branch location requests membership in a multicast group. The second agent controller is deployed at a headend of the wide area network to modify a forwarding rule in response to an instruction from the routing application. The forwarding rule controls an interaction between the headend location and an upstream router to redirect network traffic associated with the multicast group in a manner that joins the host to the multicast group.
