Abstract
A method for discovering and resolving a new multiple access point (MAP) controller by an existing MAP controller in a wireless network, comprising collecting, by a high-level controller (HLC) of a device comprising the existing MAP controller, network topology information of the wireless network from the existing MAP controller, determining, by the HLC, that the new MAP controller is connected to the wireless network, and disabling, by the HLC in response to determining that the new MAP controller is connected to the wireless network, the existing MAP controller.
