Abstract
In implementations of the present disclosure, there is provided an approach for reducing unnecessary network down. A method comprises determining a plurality of virtual access points (VAPs) of the AP in a radio frequency (RF) band. Then, the plurality of VAPs are divided into a plurality of VAP zones based on a set of data forwarding entities corresponding to overlay VAPs in the plurality of VAPs, and the plurality of VAP zones includes a bridge zone and one or more overlay zones. A VAP is selected from the bridge zone for allocation to an MBSSID group of a set of MBSSID groups for the plurality of VAPs as a transmitted VAP (TX-VAP). The TX-VAP is used to transmit a beacon frame for the MBSSID group. Implementations of the present disclosure can help the AP to reduce unnecessary network down caused by data tunnel broken and limit the negative network impact.
