1. A method comprising:

  • receiving, at a device, data regarding usage of access points in a network by a plurality of clients in the network;

    maintaining, by the device, an access point graph based on the data received regarding usage of the access points, wherein the access point graph represents the access points in the network as vertices of the access point graph;

    generating, by the device and for each of the plurality of clients, client trajectories as trajectory subgraphs of the access point graph, wherein a particular client trajectory for a particular client comprises a set of edges between a subset of the vertices of the access point graph and represents transitions between the access points in the network performed by the particular client;

    identifying, by the device, a transition pattern from the client trajectories by deconstructing the trajectory subgraphs, wherein the identified transition pattern indicates that one or more of the clients alternate between two of the access points; and

    using, by the device, the identified transition pattern to effect a configuration change in the network, wherein the configuration change in the network corresponds to preventing the one or more of the clients from alternating between the two access points.
