When performing a roaming test and packet capture at the same time, what are two particular frames that will be present when roaming between two APs is successful?
During a successful client roam between APs (when connected), the client typically sends a Reassociation Request to the new AP, and the AP responds with a Reassociation Response. This sequence helps maintain the client session, including IP addressing and encryption state.
From CWDP-305:
“Roaming involves a Reassociation Request from the client and a Reassociation Response from the new AP. These frames are critical markers of a successful handoff in active WLANs.”
