Abstract
A wireless LAN uses wireless communication servers and access points. When an access point is added to the wireless LAN, it sends a request to a master wireless communication server. The master wireless communication server indicates its presence and the application point can request a registration with a wireless communication server. The master wireless communication server selects a specific wireless communication server to interact with the access point. The access point then tunnels data back and forth between the access point and the selected wireless communication server.
