Reliability
• Standard reliability measures
– Low MTBF
• AP Controller ‘virtualization’
– LA based controller for resiliency
• Single point of management
– Large geographic area monitored and controlled
• Multiple load-balancing levels
– Users– APs– Controllers
• No single point of failure
• In-service upgrade– Minimise disruption

High Performance
• Key issues– Optimum voice support– QoS preservation– ‘Local’ access to data– Scale to 802.11n throughputs– Band-steering capability
![Page 14: RM Managed Wireless Brian Andrews Senior Product Manager](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649d265503460f949fd522/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Local Switching Capability
Distributed Switching• Most direct path– Optimal data flow– Extremely low latency
• Optimized for Voice Over IP– High quality calls– Eliminates dropped calls
![Page 15: RM Managed Wireless Brian Andrews Senior Product Manager](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649d265503460f949fd522/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Local switching eases scalability
Handles 802.11n without upgrade
.11n .11n
Offered load increases by up to 10x
.11n
• Traffic forwarding– Handled by the AP
• 802.11n– No impact on controller– Scales without upgrade
![Page 16: RM Managed Wireless Brian Andrews Senior Product Manager](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649d265503460f949fd522/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Balancing Resources• Most Wi-Fi devices default to 2.4Ghz (better range)
– Increases contention for spectrum, while 5Ghz virtually unused
• WLAN improved by steering 5Ghz-capable clients to 802.11a/n– Provides 30-40% better bandwidth utilisation with no cost
802.11b/g 802.11a
![Page 17: RM Managed Wireless Brian Andrews Senior Product Manager](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649d265503460f949fd522/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Dynamic Load Balancing• Clients tend to collect on same AP
– But often the client is in range of other APs that are idle
• APs collaborate to balance client load more evenly– Takes account of global load-balancing policies
