Abstract
One aspect can provide a system and method for fast Wi-Fi roaming. The system can identify forwarding data associated with a first active session of a first application running on a client device coupled to a home access point (AP), determine a number of neighboring APs comprising a target AP, maintain a roaming cache on each of the neighboring APs, and synchronize the identified forwarding data associated with the first active session to the roaming cache on each neighboring AP. In response to determining that the client device is roaming to the target AP, the system can access the roaming cache on the target AP to obtain the forwarding data associated with the first active session in order to continue the first active session on the client device with reduced roaming latency, thereby facilitating fast roaming of the client device from the home AP to the target AP.
