Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of the present invention provide techniques for load balancing in a network environment. A wireless networking system can include a load balancer to determine how to distribute client devices across available channels to minimize interference and maximize bandwidth. A client device can access a wireless network through an access point. When a request is received from the client device to access the wireless network, the wireless networking system can determine device information associated with the device. For example, the request can include a device identifier. In some embodiments, account information, such as a user name and password, may be included with the request or received in response to a log-in prompt. In some embodiments connection information may also be determined. Based on the device information and the connection information, the client device can be assigned to a channel.
