Master Election and Virtual Controller
Instant does not require an external Mobility Controller to regulate and manage the Wi-Fi network. Instead,
one IAP in every network assumes the role of VC. It coordinates, stores, and distributes the settings required
for providing a centralized functionality to regulate and manage the Wi-Fi network. The VC is the single point of
configuration and firmware management. When configured, the VC sets up and manages the Virtual Private
Network (VPN) tunnel to a mobility controller in the data center.
