1. A system, comprising:
- a first network device; and
a second network device operable to;
transmit a first message having a first byte size to the first network device over a network;
if a response to the first message is not received at the second network device, transmit a second message having a second byte size to the first network device, wherein the second byte size is less than the first byte size; and
validate the response to the first or second message transmitted from the first network device.

Abstract
Methods, apparatuses and systems facilitating deployment and configuration of managed access points in hierarchical wireless network systems. An embodiment of the invention facilitates deployment and configuration of conventional, substantially autonomous access points operating in connection with a central management node, such as a server or appliance. In another embodiment, the present invention facilitates deployment and configuration of light-weight access points in a hierarchical wireless network system. In one embodiment, the present invention also provides a streamlined encryption key exchange protocol adapted to hierarchical wireless network system architectures.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising logic, the logic, when executed by a first network device, operable to:
-
transmit, from the first network device, a first message having a first byte size to a second network device over a network; if a response to the first message is not received at the first network device, transmit, from the first network device, a second message having a second byte size to the second network device, wherein the second byte size is less than the first byte size; and validate, at the first network device, the response to the first or second message transmitted from the second network device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
