Anatomy of 802.11b: Roaming

n More than 1 AP providing signals to a single

client

n The client is responsible for choosing the best AP

n signal strength (#1) and network utilization (#2)

n When existing signal degrades (to poor), it tries to

find another AP

n either passively listening or actively probing the other

channels and getting a response

n once it finds one, it tries to authenticate and associate
