Abstract
In certain implementations, a method includes obtaining network information for a plurality of access points (APs) that are configured to provide user devices with access to a communication network, and determining, according to the network information, partitions in which to divide the APs for deploying a software update to the APs. The method includes dividing, according to a vertex coloring algorithm, the APs into the partitions. The APs correspond to vertices of the vertex coloring algorithm, and neighbor relationships of the APs correspond to edges of the vertex coloring algorithm. The method includes transmitting software update instructions to the APs to cause APs of a first partition to execute a reboot for installing the software update on the APs of the first partition at a different time than APs of a second partition execute a reboot for installing the software update on the APs of the second partition.
