Abstract
A Wi-Fi controller receives AP scan reports and station scan reports from a plurality of Wi-Fi 7 access points servicing a plurality of stations for wireless access to the data communication network. Each Wi-Fi 7 access point has multiple links being monitored across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz. A global link utilization table of station versus channel utilization is generated from the access point reports and station scan reports. A threshold of channel utilization on the first link of the first Wi-Fi 7 access point being exceeded is detected, while also detecting multicast traffic on the first link and detecting that the first Wi-Fi 7 station is Wi-Fi 7 capable. Responsive to the detections, multicast traffic is steered from the to the first link (e.g., higher frequency band and/or higher channel bandwidth) to the second link (e.g., lower frequency band and/or lower channel bandwidth), including steering multicast traffic from a second application on the first Wi-Fi 7 station to the second link.
