Managing association of a client device with virtual access points

An AP, comprising:

• a machine-readable storage medium storing executable instructions;
• and
• a processing resource coupled to the machine-readable storage medium, wherein the processing resource executes one or more of the executable instructions to:
• monitor data traffic corresponding to a client device associated with a first VAP hosted on the AP, wherein the first VAP is mapped to a first MBSSID set configured with a first QoS parameter, and wherein the AP also hosts a second VAP mapped to a second MBSSID set configured with a second QoS parameter;
• determine a communication demand of the client device based on the data traffic corresponding to the client device;
• steer the client device to the second VAP based on the communication demand and the second QoS parameter;
• and
• communicate with the client device through the second VAP.

A system, comprising:

• a client device;
• and
• an AP communicatively coupled to the client device, wherein the AP hosts a first VAP and a second VAP, wherein the first VAP is mapped to a first MBSSID set configured with a first QoS parameter and the second VAP is mapped to a second MBSSID set configured with a second QoS parameter, wherein the client device is associated with the first VAP, and wherein the AP is configured to:
• monitor data traffic corresponding to the client device;
• determine a communication demand of the client device based on the data traffic corresponding to the client device;
• steer the client device to the second VAP based on the communication demand and the second QoS parameter;
• and
• communicate with the client device through the second VAP.
