Abstract

Steering clients between access points (APs) or other sources of wireless signaling is contemplated. The client steering may be used to supplant or augment roaming capabilities of the clients with independent steering decisions made at the APs such as by utilizing information shared between the APs to generate a steering threshold for use in assessing whether clients should be steered from one AP to another.
