Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media may determine location-related data for a plurality of access points located in an area in communication with a network by determining that a plurality of access points in a network are associated with a same geographical area including identifying, from among the plurality of access points, a first access point associated with the geographical area, determining first location-related data for the first access point, determining second location-related data for a second access point of the plurality of access points, the second access point being interior to the first access point within the network based at least in part on a determination that the second access point has at least a threshold number of the neighbor access points, and exchanging ranging data indicative of a first relative distance between the first access point and the second access point, the ranging data based at least in part on ranging message exchange measurements.

Abstract: A system may be configured to identify from among a plurality of access points in an area in communication with a network, a first access point associated with the area. In addition the system may also be configured to determine first location-related data for the first access point. Determining second location-related data for a second access point of the plurality of access points, the second access point being interior to the first access point within the network includes exchanging ranging data indicative of a first relative distance between the first access point and the second access point, the ranging data based at least in part on ranging message exchange measurements, and communicating the first location-related data from the first access point to the second access point.

Abstract: A system may be configured to identify, from among a plurality of access points in an area in communication with a network, a plurality of edge access points associated with an edge of the area. In addition, the system may also be configured to determine first edge location-related data for a first edge access point and first interior location-related data for a first interior access point. Determining the first interior location-related data for the first interior access point includes exchanging ranging data indicative of a first relative distance between the first edge access point and the first interior access point. The ranging data may be based at least in part on fine timing measurements and/or time-of-flight-based measurements. Determining the first interior location-related data for the first interior access point may also include communicating the first edge location-related data from the first edge access point to the first interior access point.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a method is provided that receives a broadcast of available bandwidth from a first routing device. A congestion of traffic is detected along a downstream path to a second routing device. This second routing device is an immediate downstream neighbor. As such, an alternate path is established to the second routing device by way of the first routing device based on the available bandwidth in the network and a portion of the traffic is transmitted along the alternate path.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a multicast tree is accessed. The multicast tree defines one or more destination label switch routers and paths from a source label switch router to the destination label switch routers. Multicast addresses are then transmitted to the destination label switch routers. In an example embodiment, upon receipt of the multicast addresses, a request to update the multicast tree is transmitted. The request includes the identifier of the label switch router that originated the request.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a method is provided that receives a first label from an area border routing device. Here, the first label is associated with a first routing device, which is an immediate downstream neighbor of the area border routing device. The first label is then associated with a second label that is associated with a second routing device. In an example, the first label is received from the area border routing device along a path. Data that includes the second label subsequently is received and the second label in the data is replaced with the first label upon a failure of the area border router. The data then is encapsulated in an alternate path to the first routing device.
