Example embodiments relate to preventing MAC spoofing. In this manner, the embodiments disclosed herein enable sending, from a requesting mobile device, a generic advertisement service (GAS) message on a channel. Responsive to sending the GAS message, a first GAS response message and a second GAS response message may be received on the channel within a predetermined time period after sending the GAS message on the channel. A first CSI fingerprint from the first GAS response message may be compared to a stored CSI fingerprint. A second CSI fingerprint from the second GAS response message may also be compared to the stored CSI fingerprint. Responsive to the first CSI fingerprint being a closer match to the stored CSI fingerprint than the second CSI fingerprint, the requesting mobile device may be connected to an access point associated with first GAS response message.

Preventing MAC spoofing

An apparatus includes a display, a wireless communication device, an input device, and a processor. The processor to provide a first connection plan and a second connection plan via the display to a user. The first connection plan identifies a first set of rules of wireless access point selection and the second connection plan identifies a second set of rules for wireless access point selection. The processor also to receive a selection corresponding one of the first connection plan and the second connection plan from the user via the input device and to select one of a first wireless access point and a second wireless access point based on first network performance data of the first wireless access point, second network performance data of the second wireless access point, and the selection. The processor further to establish a network connection with the selected wireless access point via the wireless communication device.

Wireless access point selection based on a connection plan

In one implementation, instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium are executable by a processing resource to cause a computing device to fetch a token code from a home subscriber server (HSS) for a user and log in to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) server using the token code.

User authentication

Systems, methods, and machine-readable and executable instructions are provided for preventing a memory attack to a wireless access point (AP). Preventing a memory attack to a wireless access point can include receiving, with a wireless AP, a generic advertisement service (GAS) initial request from a querying station and transmitting, with the wireless AP, a GAS initial response to the querying station without querying an advertisement server based on the GAS initial request.

Preventing a memory attack to a wireless access point

Load balancing among wireless access points (APs) can include a plurality of wireless APs, and a transition-in transition-out (TITO) engine instructing a client to dissociate from a first wireless AP selected from the plurality of wireless APs and associate with a second wireless AP selected from the plurality of wireless APs.

Load balancing among wireless access points

A wireless access point can identify a group of service providers that can provide access for respective subscriber devices. The wireless access point can periodically monitor its network traffic load. In response to determining that the amount of the network traffic load is above a threshold amount, the wireless access point selects one or more service providers from the group, and impedes use of each of the selected one or more service providers from the wireless access point by one or more additional subscriber devices that have not yet connected to the wireless access point.

Limiting access to service providers based on the network traffic load of a wireless access point

Systems, devices, and methods, including executable instructions and/or logic thereon, are provided for server site selection. A system includes a load balancing master configured to have a domain name server (DNS) capability with extensions to support iterative control and a manager capability to select among server sites to probe. The system includes a load balancing slave, communicatively coupled to the master, configured to have a DNS reflection capability to measure a round trip time (RTT) between the load balancing slave and a client local DNS server and an actor capability to respond to commands from the manager and to report a measured RTT to the load balancing master.
