Transmitting traffic from bluetooth low energy clients associated with different universally unique identifiers

A network device, comprising at least:

• a memory;
• a processor executing instructions from the memory to:
• report a detection of a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon message from a first BLE device deployed in a wireless local area network (WLAN) serving a plurality of tenants;
• receive information about a first tenant assigned to the first BLE device from a server;
• determine a first universally unique identifier (UUID) uniquely corresponding to the first tenant;
• configure the first BLE device to broadcast a first plurality of BLE beacon messages using the first UUID, wherein a second and different BLE device deployed in the WLAN is configured to broadcast a second plurality of BLE beacon messages using a second UUID that is different from the first UUID, the second UUID uniquely corresponding to a second tenant different from the first tenant in the plurality of tenants;
• identify a first network controller managing a first network associated with the first tenant and a second network controller managing a second network associated with the second tenant;
• establish a first secure tunnel from the network device to the first network controller and a second secure tunnel from the network device to the second network controller;
• and
• transmit traffic associated with the first tenant to the first network controller via the first secure tunnel and traffic associated with the second tenant to the second network controller via the second secure tunnel.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by at least one processor of a network device, the machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions to:

• receive information about a first tenant assigned to the first BLE device from a server;
• determine a first universally unique identifier (UUID) uniquely corresponding to the first tenant;
• configure the first BLE device to broadcast a first plurality of BLE beacon messages using the first UUID, wherein a second and different BLE device deployed in the WLAN is configured to broadcast a second plurality of BLE beacon messages using a second UUID that is different from the first UUID, the second UUID uniquely corresponding to a second tenant different from the first tenant in the plurality of tenants;
• identify a first network controller managing a first network associated with the first tenant and a second network controller managing a second network associated with the second tenant;
• establish a first secure tunnel from the network device to the first network controller and a second secure tunnel from the network device to the second network controller;
• and
• transmit traffic associated with the first tenant to the first network controller via the first secure tunnel and traffic associated with the second tenant to the second network controller via the second secure tunnel.
