4.3 Load Balancing
When your AP becomes overloaded, there are two basic responses it can take. The
first one is to “delay” a client connection by withholding the connection until the
data transfer throughput is lowered or the client connection is picked up by
another AP. (If the client isn’t picked up after a set period of time, the AP allows it
to connect regardless.) The second response is to kick the connections until the AP
is no longer considered overloaded. Both of these tactics are known as ‘load
balancing’.
This tutorial shows you how to configure the NWA3000-N series AP’s load
balancing feature.
