  • Access point management
    Patent number: 9832661
    Abstract: Access point management is described. In an implementation, a method includes selecting one of a plurality of clients, in which each of the clients has a client profile which describes the client's experience with one or more of a plurality of access points. The selecting is performed based on one or more of the client profiles. A determination is made as to whether at least one of the access points utilized by the selected client should be replaced by another one of the access points. The determination includes establishing whether a difference between a connectivity score for the at least one access point and a connectivity score for the other access point exceeds an inertia value.

  • Access point capacity management
    Patent number: 8825895
    Abstract: Capacity management is described. In an implementation, a method includes executing a module on a computing device to monitor use of a product during a measurement interval to determine a maximum capacity of the product used during the measurement interval and whether a capacity failure point is reached during the measurement interval. A learned capacity limit is set based on the monitoring for determining whether one or more of a plurality of clients, if any, are to receive a list which references at least the monitored product, wherein the learned capacity limit is set such that when the capacity failure point is not reached, the learned capacity limit is set according to the maximum capacity.
