For example, here the AP has a balanced bandwidth allotment of 6 Mbps. If laptop
R
connects and
it pushes the AP over its allotment, say to 7 Mbps, then the AP delays the red laptop’s connection
until it can afford the bandwidth or the laptop is picked up by a different AP with bandwidth to
spare.
Figure 40
Delaying a Connection
The second response your AP can take is to kick the connections that are pushing it over its
balanced bandwidth allotment.
Figure 41
Kicking a Connection
Connections are kicked based on either
idle timeout
or
signal strength
. The NWA/WAC first looks
to see which devices have been idle the longest, then starts kicking them in order of highest idle
time. If no connections are idle, the next criteria the NWA/WAC analyzes is signal strength. Devices
with the weakest signal strength are kicked first.
