Abstract: Examples provide new roaming test systems for network deployments that can be implemented remotely using a single physical AP. Examples achieve this elegant system by emulating a physical network deployment using a group of VAPs provisioned on the single physical AP (a VAP may refer to a logical or a virtual AP instance on a physical AP). Each VAP of CAP group may be configured to represent a physical AP of the physical network deployment (such a network deployment may be a prospective deployment or, an actual/set-up deployment). Examples can simulate/emulate a wireless client physically moving between physical APs of the network deployment by varying transmission power associated with each VAP as a function of time in a manner that mirrors how a wireless client would perceive transmission power varying for physical APs of the network deployment (represented by the VAPs) as the wireless client moves across the geographical site of the network deployment.

Abstract: A system and method is described that allows the assignment of roles and/or VLANs to an authenticated client device even when an external remote authentication dial in user service (RADIUS) server is inaccessible. In particular, using RADIUS key-reply attributes stored locally after a previous successful authentication using the external RADIUS server, an internal RADIUS server may perform authentication and pass the stored RADIUS key-reply attributes to an authentication module for assignment of a role and/or VLAN to the client device. Accordingly, roles and/or VLANs may be assigned to enforce access privileges of the client device even when an external RADIUS server is inaccessible.

Abstract: A MACSec packet exposes selected tags in front of the MACSec tag. Different embodiments are directed to methods and apparatuses of various network nodes, that send, forward, and receive packets. Anther embodiment is the MACSec data structure on a computer readable medium. Another embodiment is the upgrade process of a legacy network.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of software-based services in communication networks. More particularly, it includes systems and methods for maintaining and utilizing routing data to handle event notifications generated by call handling in a service logic execution environment. Particular aspects of the present invention are described in the claims, specification and drawings.
