Abstract
Techniques for weighted load balancing in multi-link operation (MLO) are provided. An announcement message from a second network device is received by a first network device, where the announcement message indicates a presence of the second network device within a network environment. Operational data of the second network device is collected by the first network device by monitoring network signals transmitted by the second network device. An aggregated weight for the second network device is calculated by the first network device based on the collected operational data. A preference value is determined, by the first network device, for the second network device using the aggregated weight. Upon receiving a request from a client device connected to the first network device, a neighbor report is transmitted by the first network device to the client device, where the neighbor report comprises the preference value determined for the second network device.
