Abstract: Example implementations relate to management of clusters. A cluster recovery manager may comprise a processing resource; and a memory resource storing machine-readable instructions to cause the processing resource to: adjust, based on a monitored degree of performance of a controller of a controller cluster, a state of the controller to one of a first state and a second state; and reassign a corresponding portion of a plurality of APs managed by the controller periodically to a different controller until the state of the controller is determined to be adjustable to the first state. The reassignment can be triggered responsive to a state adjustment of the controller from the first state to the second state.

Abstract: Some examples relate to detecting network link failure. In an example, a determination may be made at a first network device on a network regarding an average round-trip delay time (RTD) between the first network device and a second network device over a given time interval during a given period of time. Then, for the given time interval, a keepalive packet may be sent from the first network device to the second network device at the average RTD of the given time interval for a keepalive time. In response to a determination, by the first network device that there is no acknowledgement of the keepalive packet from the second network device during the keepalive time, a network link between the first network device and the second network device may be identified as failed.

The first and second network zones may be independently configured with respective first and second zone controllers and the first and second communication channels may exist simultaneously.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and a non-blocking uplink architecture for access points augmented by client association based load balancing. Specifically, an access point (AP) can receive a first data set using a particular radio of a plurality of radios, and then transmit the first data set to a network device by: (a) transmitting, to the network device, a first subset of the first data set using a first wired connection between the access point and the network device, and (b) transmitting, to the network device, a second subset of the first data set using a second wired connection between the access point and the network device. Moreover, the AP can select a particular wired connection for transmitting a subset data received from a radio of the AP to the network device, where multiple wired connections exist between the access point and the network device.
