Software defined wireless local area network for fault tolerance

Abstract:

Techniques are described for providing fault tolerance for wireless communications in a wireless network (e.g., wireless local area network (LAN)). A client establishes a first connection with a first access point (AP) of multiple APs via first radio of the client and a second connection with a second AP of the multiple APs via a second radio of the client. The first AP and the second AP are connected to the same wireless LAN. Data associated with a communication session is communicated via the first and second connections. In response to detecting that the second connection satisfies one or more criteria, a third connection is established with a third AP of the multiple APs via the second radio of the client.
