Dynamic network
In this scenario, a service controller is deployed with several APs to provide wireless
coverage of a large area. Instead of using a backbone LAN, wireless links are used to
interconnect all APs.
AP 1 is the master. It provides the connection to the wired network and a wireless link to the
other APs. The other APs automatically established their links to the master based on a
balance between SNR (signal to noise ratio) and hops, to provide the most efficient network
topology.
If a node becomes unavailable, the links dynamically adjust to find the optimum path to the
master.
