Centralized service discovery management

Abstract

Examples described herein relate to a centralized service discovery management (CSDM) system and method for distributing service discovery records to access points (APs). The CSDM system receives a service discovery record from a source AP of a plurality of APs deployed in an information technology (IT) infrastructure. The CSDM system is deployed outside the IT infrastructure. The service discovery record comprises information about an application server. Further, the CSDM system generates a neighbor AP group for the application server based on nearness between the source AP and the rest of the plurality of APs, wherein the neighbor AP group includes a set of neighbor APs identified from the plurality of APs. Moreover, the CSDM system transmits the service discovery record to the set of neighbor APs so that the application server is discoverable by client devices connected to the set of neighbor APs.
