Techniques are presented for facilitating and monitoring wireless network connections. Clients and intermediate nodes are configured to interact with one another via network connections. Initially, the clients wirelessly connect to a select one of the intermediate nodes. Tests may be periodically issued to the clients and to the intermediate nodes to measure and track performance and quality of the network connections. Billing records may also be recorded and billing policies verified for client activities occurring during the network connections.

Wireless network facilitator and monitor

A network may be abstracted into four layers: a control layer, a network management layer, a verification and validation layer, and a physical network layer. The control layer interacts with the other three layers to execute network scenarios. The network management layer automatically performs network configurations and network transitions to support the network scenarios executed by the control layer.
