Abstract

See full text

Wireless roaming in a computer network may be handled through a solution provided on one or more switches in the network. A roam request sent by a switch corresponding to the user's new location may be received by the other switches in the network. If the user is known to any of these switches, then they may execute steps to accommodate the roaming. The tasks performed may vary based on whether the roaming is on layer 2 or layer 3, whether the switch is a home agent for the client, and/or whether the switch already corresponds to the user's new location.
