Abstract:
1. At least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions, the instructions executed by a processor to: receive network performance metrics for each of a plurality of channels existing between a client and respective access points (APs) in a wireless network; assign a priority to each of a plurality of types of data flows receivable at the client, wherein the plurality of types of data flows is greater than a number of interfaces of the client; select an AP having the network performance metric that matches a data flow metric of a highest priority data flow of the plurality of types of data flows and does not match a data flow metric of at least one other of the plurality of types of data flows; receive the plurality of types of data flows at the client from the selected AP until the highest priority data flow is completed; and receive remaining data flows of the plurality of types of data flows from another AP with the network performance metric that matches a data flow metric for a different data flow of the plurality of types of data flows.
