Abstract
Stations are monitored that join and leave a multicast group associated with one or more switches over a wired channel and one or more access points over a wireless channel. At least one of latency or packet loss over a threshold are detected for a specific VLAN group. Multicast traffic is segregated in response to the detection, at the one or more switches, by reassigning stations that are not associated with multicast traffic to a new VLAN group, and by at the one or more access points, reassigning stations that are associated with multicast traffic with the low bandwidth frequency and reassigning stations that are not associated with multicast traffic with the high bandwidth frequency.
