Abstract
A network management architecture is disclosed having a network backbone and one or more macro service areas. Each macro service area includes one or more basic service areas, which each include an access point and a plurality of associated clients. A management system is employed for connecting the access points to the network backbone. The management system regulates access of the clients to the network so as to control a desired network parameter, which can relate to throughput, quality of service, or any other desired network parameter.
