Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product for enhancing redundancy in a wireless system using location attributes is presented. A First Network Device (FND) receives a discovery message from an Access Point (AP). The FND comprises either a Wireless Controller (WC) or a Wireless Switch (WS). The FND uses the location information associated with the AP to determine how many other APs from a same locality are currently allocated to at least one FND, and assigns the AP to a least loaded FND in the locality.
