Abstract:
A system and method for fast roaming in one or more enterprise fabric network. The fast roaming involves correlation operations performed in one or more databases managed by control plane of the fabric network to update routing locator entries associated with L2-VNID and L3-VNID in one or more databases when a client moves from behind a first switch to behind a second switch. In some embodiments, the control plane finds the L3-VNID from the L2-VNID. The L3-VNID is used to search for all IP addresses corresponding to a client-MAC. At least new routing locator value that is used in the routing locator entries is provided to the first switch, the second switch, and border nodes associated with the fabric network.

Claim (Index 19):
A method of roaming in an enterprise fabric architecture having a wireless LAN controller (WLC), a first switch (SW1), a second switch (SW2), a border node (BN) and a MAP-server, the method comprising:\n when a client has roamed from the first switch to the second switch and has reassociated with the WLC through the second switch, updating, at one or more database managed by the MAP-server, one or more routing locator (RLOC) associated entry in the one or more database with a new RLOC value associated with the second switch to which the client has roamed, the RLOC entry being associated with a L2-VNID associated with a Media Access Control (MAC) physical address associated with the client; correlating, at the MAP server, the client-MAC address or L2-VNID to entries in the one or more database to find all IP address(es) associated the client or all L3-VNID associated with the client; updating the database with the new RLOC value for each of the found IP address(es) or found L3-VNID; and sending, from the MAP server, a notification message to the first switch, the second switch, wherein the notification message includes the new RLOC value.
