Abstract
According to one embodiment of the disclosure, a network device is described that includes at least one hardware processor and is configured to perform a number of operations. Some of these operations include receiving information associated with a level of connectivity by a client device to a first network, and receiving information associated with a level of connectivity by the client device to a second network. Based on the level of connectivity with the first network and the level of connectivity with the second network, the second network is selecting for the client device to access one or more resources, and thereafter, causing the client device to connect to the second network.
