Method of controlling hotspot access on multi-band access point
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer readable media may be operable to wireless hotspot activity of one or more access points supporting multiple radios. A DHCP relay agent may receive a DHCP request from a device seeking to join a hotspot service provided through a gateway. If the number of currently connected devices is less than the maximum connected device limit, then the agent may increase the number of currently connected devices by one, and relay the encapsulated DHCP request over a GRE tunnel. If the number of connected devices already meets or exceeds the allowed limit, then the DHCP relay agent may instruct the gateway or its access point to disconnect the new device.
