Rapid failure detection and recovery in wireless communication networks is needed in order to meet, among other things, carrier class Ethernet transport channel standards. Thus, resilient wireless packet communications is provided using a hardware-assisted rapid transport channel failure detection algorithm and a Gigabit Ethernet data access card with an engine configured accordingly. In networks with various topologies, this is provided in combination with their existing protocols, such as rapid spanning tree and link aggregation protocols, respectively.

In one embodiment, a network assurance service that monitors a wireless network identifies a set of wireless network anomalies detected in the wireless network that are associated with a set of one or more network measurements. The network assurance service classifies the set of wireless anomalies as radio-related or backend-related. The network assurance service, when the set of wireless anomalies are classified as radio-related, determines that the wireless anomalies are recurring for a particular wireless access point in the network. The network assurance service initiates a change to the wireless network in part to move clients in the wireless network from the particular wireless access point to another wireless access point in the network.

A system and method of relaying distress calls in a mesh network of nodes. The method includes discovering, by a target node of the mesh network, a plurality of neighboring nodes of the target node that each have one or more types of communication capabilities with the target node. The method includes detecting, by the target node, a failure event associated with a resource of the target node. The method includes broadcasting, by the target node, a distress call indicative of the failure event to one or more neighboring nodes of the plurality of neighboring nodes of the target node to cause the one or more neighboring nodes to redirect the distress call to an egress node of the mesh network.
