When designing a large, high-availability wireless network, what changes to a mobility- group would create less load on the controllers while maintaining the same mobility messages?

The correct answer is C. configure mobility-group multicast messaging. In a large mobility group, each controller must send unicast mobility messages to every other controller, creating O(N²) message overhead that scales poorly. Configuring mobility-group multicast messaging allows a controller to send a single multicast packet that all other…

Question

When designing a large, high-availability wireless network, what changes to a mobility- group would create less load on the controllers while maintaining the same mobility messages?

Options

  • Aremove unnecessary controllers from the mobility-group to cut down on the controller's
  • Bseparate the controllers into different mobility-groups per controller to only send relevant
  • Cconfigure mobility-group multicast messaging
  • Dconfigure the controllers into separate RF-Groups from the mobility-groups to cut down on

Explanation

In a large mobility group, each controller must send unicast mobility messages to every other controller, creating O(N²) message overhead that scales poorly. Configuring mobility-group multicast messaging allows a controller to send a single multicast packet that all other controllers in the group receive simultaneously, reducing the messaging load from N-1 unicast transmissions to a single multicast transmission per event. This preserves full mobility functionality while dramatically lowering CPU and network overhead on each controller. Choice A (removing controllers) reduces availability. Choice B (per-controller mobility groups) breaks seamless client roaming. Choice D conflates RF Groups with mobility groups - RF Groups manage RRM, not client roaming messages.
