METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DYNAMIC DETERMINATION OF POTENTIAL ACCESS POINTS FOR PROPAGATING CLIENT INFORMATION

摘要

A method includes determining a subset, of a set of access points, that a client device is likely to roam to from a first access point in the set of access points; transmitting to each of the subset of access points, without transmitting to a second access point in the set of access points that is not included in the subset, information associated with the client device; wherein the information associated with the client device is used by the client device or by the third access point during (a) an association process for the client device associating with the third access point or (b) an authentication process for the authentication of the client device by the third access point.

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, causes performance of operations comprising:
determining a subset, of a plurality of access points, that a client device is likely to roam to from a first access point in the plurality of access points; transmitting to each of the subset of access points that the client device likely to roam to from a first access point, without transmitting to a second access point in the plurality of access points that is not included in the subset, information associated with the client device; wherein the transmitting operation is performed while the client device is associated with the first access point.
