System and Method for Achieving Zero Packet Loss in Wireless Roaming

A system, comprising:

• a network controller;
• and
• a wireless client device in communication with the network controller, the wireless client device comprising a memory and a processor, the processor communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to perform operations comprising:
• establishing a first data plane in association with a first radio connected to a first network component;
• establishing a second data plane in association with a second radio, wherein the first data plane is different from and operates concurrently with the second data plane;
• synchronizing the second data plane with the network controller to connect the second radio with the second data plane to a second network component;
• and
• switching traffic of the first data plane connected to the first network component to the second data plane connected to the second network component.

A method, comprising:

• establishing a first data plane in association with a first radio connected to a first network component, wherein a wireless client device comprises the first radio and a second radio and is in communication with a network controller;
• establishing a second data plane in association with the second radio, wherein the first data plane is different from and operates concurrently with the second data plane;
• synchronizing the second data plane with the network controller to connect the second radio with the second data plane to a second network component;
• and
• switching traffic of the first data plane connected to the first network component to the second data plane connected to the second network component.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are configured, when executed by a processor, to perform operations comprising:

• establishing a first data plane in association with a first radio connected to a first network component, wherein a wireless client device comprises the first radio and a second radio and is in communication with a network controller;
• establishing a second data plane in association with the second radio, wherein the first data plane is different from and operates concurrently with the second data plane;
• synchronizing the second data plane with the network controller to connect the second radio with the second data plane to a second network component;
• and
• switching traffic of the first data plane connected to the first network component to the second data plane connected to the second network component.
