Abstract: This disclosure describes a network management system configured to determine, for each AP of the plurality of APs and based on received signal strength indicators (RSSIs) of each AP of the plurality of APs, one or more strong neighbors of each AP. compute an AP redundancy score for each AP of the plurality of APs indicative of a redundancy of each AP; compute, based on the AP redundancy scores, at least one of: a switch redundancy score for each network switch associated with one or more of the plurality of APs, wherein the switch redundancy score is indicative of a redundancy of each network switch, or a site redundancy score, wherein the site redundancy score is indicative of an overall redundancy of the network site; and invoke, based on the AP redundancy scores, the switch redundancy score, or the site redundancy score, one or more actions.

Abstract: Systems, devices and techniques for an adaptive application-specific probing scheme are disclosed. An example network device includes memory configured to store a network address and probe protocol usable for probing a first network device associated with a source of an application, and one or more processors configured to determine a network address and probe protocol usable for probing the first network device, wherein the first network device comprises a server that is responsive to the probing, the server executing the application for the data flow, or a closest network device, to the server, that is responsive to the probing. The one or more processors are also configured to send to a second network device at a location serviced by the application, a message specifying the network address and probe protocol usable for probing the first network device.

Abstract: A wireless access point system includes a processor configured to tap event data and process the event data using a plurality of event filters. Each event filter of the plurality of event filters applies event criteria to detect one or more types of events. The wireless access point system includes a memory configured to store the tapped event data. The wireless access point system includes a communication interface configured to report a report of a detected event type. At least a portion of the report is correlated to analyze a performance of a wireless network.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for using beacon signals are described. One or more sectorized base stations are used in some embodiments to transmit beacon signals into zones, e.g., each zone being at least partially covered by one or more beacon signals. Use of sectorized base stations allows a single base station, e.g., a Bluetooth or other base station capable of transmitting beacon signals, to cover a number of different zones avoiding the need for multiple different beacon transmitters at different locations to establish different beacon coverage areas. Sectorization of a Bluetooth base station and the ability to remotely or locally configure the base station allows for great flexibility to use beacon signals in stores or other locations without the need for numerous individual battery powered beacon transmitters at floor or display level.

Abstract: A load-controlling interfacing device obtains and processes event data, for example, from a touch-screen user interface and/or other devices, and that processes rules based on the event data to control an electrical load, such as a light fixture. During operation, when the interfacing device obtains event data, the interfacing device selects a rule to process based on the event data from the touch-screen user interface. If the interfacing device determines that the rule's condition is satisfied, the interfacing device can process the rule's action description to perform a corresponding action for controlling power to the electrical load.

Abstract: A first set of access rules is received from an access configuration service. The first set of access rules specifies addresses of devices authorized for a first user. A second set of access rules is received from the access configuration service. The second set of the access rules specifies addresses of devices authorized for a second user. At a wireless access point, a network packet associated with the first user is received. The first set of access rules is applied to filter the network packet.

Abstract: Integrated power receptacle wireless access point (AP) adapter devices for adapting a power-over-Ethernet (PoE) wall outlet into an access point. Described herein are scalable, dedicated adapters that may be used to adapt an Ethernet wall jack (PoE or non-PoE) into an access point, gigabit switch and PoE power source. These apparatuses may interface with an Ethernet wall jack connected to a network, converting the Ethernet wall jack to an access point and also include a plurality of additional Ethernet connections, including at least one power-over-Ethernet connection.

Abstract: A load-monitoring interfacing device obtains and processes sensor data from an electrical load. The interfacing device can include at least one power outlet to provide power to a corresponding electrical load. During operation, the interfacing device can obtain sensor data from a local power outlet coupled to an electrical load, such that the sensor data can indicate an electrical measurement associated with the electrical load. The interfacing device selects a rule to process based on the obtained sensor data, and processes the rule to determine whether to perform an action. If the rule's condition is satisfied, the interfacing device proceeds to processing the rule's action description to perform the action, such as to enable or disable a power outlet, or to perform any other pre-defined action.

Abstract: A sensor-monitoring interfacing device is coupled to one or more physical devices that include sensors for measuring physical attributes. During operation, the interfacing device obtains and processes sensor data from the physical devices. When the interfacing device obtains sensor data from a physical device, the interfacing device selects a rule to process based on the obtained sensor data. If the interfacing device determines that the rule's condition is satisfied, the interfacing device can process the rule's action description to perform a corresponding action.
