Abstract
Example implementations relate to router advertisement caching. A controller may comprise a processing resource and a memory resource storing machine-readable instructions to cause the processing resource to perform a number of actions. For instance, the controller may cache a router advertisement (RA) from a router, select, in response to a client device associating with the controller, the cached RA from the router, and unicast the RA from the router to the client device.
Claims15
A controller, comprising:
- a processing resource;
- and
- a memory resource storing machine-readable instructions to cause the processing resource to:
- cache a router advertisement (RA) from a router;
- select, in response to a client device associating with the controller, the cached RA from the router;
- and
- unicast the RA from the router to the client device.
4 more elements
A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to:
- cache, by a controller, a router advertisement (RA) received from a first router of a plurality of routers and an RA received from a second router of the plurality of routers;
- select, in response to a client device associating with the controller, the RA received from the first router;
- and
- unicast the selected RA from the first route to the client device to cause the client device to connect to the first router.
1 more element
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a controller, a plurality of routers associated with a virtual local area network (VLAN) of the controller;
- caching, by the controller, a plurality of router advertisements (RAs) received from the plurality of routers of the VLAN;
- selecting, by the controller in response to a client device associating with the controller, an RA associated with a router of the plurality of routers;
- and
- unicasting the selected RA of the router to the client device to cause the client device to connect to the router.
