ABSTRACT:
Initiating peer-to-peer tunnels between clients in a mobility domain. When initiated by the controller, the access nodes establish a peer-to-peer tunnel for suitable client traffic so as to bypass “slow” tunnels through the controller. Traffic through this “fast” tunnel may be initiated once established or traffic may be temporarily queued. This queue and release process may be bidirectional or unidirectional depending on the traffic. Completion of slow tunnel traffic may be sensed in a number of ways. Slow tunnel traffic may be timed out, and queued traffic released after a preset time since the last packet was sent through the slow tunnel. The identity of the last packet sent through the slow tunnel may be retained, and queued traffic released when an acknowledgement for that packet is received. A special packet may be sent through the slow tunnel and queued traffic released when an acknowledgement for that packet is received.
