ABSTRACT:
A wired Local Area Network (wired LAN) and a plurality of Wireless Access Points (WAPs) coupled to a wired network infrastructure of the wired LAN service wireless packetized communications for a plurality of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) clients. A multi-layer switch of the wired LAN monitors packetized communications serviced by a WAP of the plurality of WAPs. Based upon the monitoring, the multi-layer switch determines that a WLAN client serviced by the WAP exceeds a usage threshold. Based upon the determination the wireless capacity provided to the wireless terminal by the WAP is reduced. Reducing the wireless capacity provided to the WLAN client by the WAP includes directing the WAP to reduce a Class of Service (CoS) provided to the WLAN client. Reducing the wireless capacity provided to the WLAN client by the WAP may include introducing round trip delay into packetized communications serviced by the multi-layer switch to reduce the rate at which corresponding higher layer communication protocols apply data.
