  • Method to distribute IEEE 802.1X authenticated users among multiple broadcast domains
    Patent number: 7447166
    Abstract: A technique optimizes the distribution of authenticated users among a plurality of broadcast domains, such as virtual local area networks (VLAN). Users are dynamically assigned to different broadcast domains based on various factors, including but not limited to the number of authenticated users already participating in each broadcast domain, the available bandwidth in each broadcast domain, user classes associated with users participating in each broadcast domain, etc. Based on one or more of these factors, authenticated users are optimally distributed (“load balanced”) among the plurality of broadcast domains, thereby reducing the amount of broadcast traffic and configuration within each domain.
