Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a system and method for classifying an application session for forwarding or refrain from forwarding to a client. Generally, classifying an application session includes: receiving a first request from a client device at a first network device; transmitting, by the first network device, a second request to obtain classification information corresponding to the first request; forwarding, by the first network device, the first request from the client device prior to receiving the classification information corresponding to the first request; receiving, by the first network device, the classification information corresponding to the first request; receiving, by the first network device, a first response corresponding to the forwarded first request; and based on the classification information, forwarding or refraining from forwarding the first response to the client device.

Abstract: A network device may detect packets being transmitted on a network to obtain detected packets, identify Internet Protocol (IP) addresses corresponding to the detected packets, and identify candidate IP subnets that do not include any IP address in the IP addresses corresponding to the detected packets. A particular IP subnet may be selected from the set of candidate IP subnets for allocation to a set of target devices. A network device may identify a set of candidate Internet Protocol (IP) subnets, select a particular IP subnet from the set of candidate IP subnets, and transmit, to other network devices, an advertisement including an intent to use the particular IP subnet. Responsive to determining that none of the other network devices are using the particular IP subnet, the network device may select the particular IP subnet for allocating to a set of target devices.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and a network device for efficient mobile client device roaming in a wireless local area network with multiple access points. Specifically, a network device determines a first received signal strength value for a first set of signals transmitted between a client device and a first access point during a first time period; and, determines a second received signal strength value for a second set of signals transmitted between a client device and the access point during a second time period. Based on the first and the second signal strength values, the network device computes a change in signal strength value corresponding to wireless communication between the client device and the first access point. Based on the change in signal strength value, the network device selects the access point from a plurality of access points for providing network access to the client device.
