Abstract
Embodiments of a device and method are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method for network traffic management of a network deployed at a customer site involves establishing a wired traffic overlay tunnel between an access switch (AS) of the network deployed at the customer site and a head end (HE) of the network deployed at the customer site, establishing a wireless traffic overlay tunnel between a wireless access point (AP) of the network deployed at the customer site and the HE of the network deployed at the customer site, and conveying network traffic associated with a network device through the wired traffic overlay tunnel or the wireless traffic overlay tunnel based on whether the network device connects to the network through a wired link or connects to the network wirelessly.
