Application-based Transmission Opportunity (TXOP) sharing may be provided. First, a sharing AP may receive a request to share TXOPs with a requesting AP. The request may include information associated with an application executing on a client serviced by the requesting AP. Next, a TXOP duration for the requesting AP may be reserved based on the information associated with the application such that, in response to winning contention on the medium, the sharing AP may share a TXOP with the requesting AP for the TXOP duration.

In one embodiment, a computing device maintains a component list of a plurality of measurable computer network characteristics for a plurality of computer networks, and assigns a component weighting factor to each characteristic within the component list. The computing device may then adjust the component weighting factor within the component list for each particular characteristic over time based at least in part on a measurable effect that particular network characteristic has over one or more of the plurality of computer networks in response to a change to that particular characteristic.
