Client roaming is a relatively basic feature of wireless networks. When multiple APs are available, it is expected that a client station (STA) will always be connected to the best possible AP, but this is not always the case. Poor client roaming decisions are a common occurrence and often lead to poor performance and user frustration.
Today we discuss client roaming, and also provide an automated way to verify roaming on a client device.
Some time ago we started a series on Wireless QoS, and in the previous entry we discussed channel access and EDCA. Now let’s have a look at a more complete picture and how wireless QoS plays out from a design point of view.
There are a few points to consider, including QoS marking by client devices, overall design, and interaction with the underlying wired infrastructure.
