ExtremeWireless Virtual Network Services control traffic flow by allowing traffic to be backhauled to a wireless appliance or switched locally at the AP on a per SSID basis. With local switching, the AP is still managed centrally by the wireless appliance, but data is not backhauled to the wireless appliance. This improves responsiveness and ensures that traffic does not unnecessarily traverse costly WANs or contribute to bottlenecks at aggregating switches. A VNS also provides role-based policies providing security, NAC, mobility, and QoS priority that can be implemented on a per user and...
