  Connecting to multiple IEEE 802.11 networks with one WiFi card
Time: 08:46 EST/13:46 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: John Quigley

VirtualWiFi is a virtualization architecture for wireless LAN (WLAN) cards. It abstracts a single WLAN card to appear as multiple virtual WLAN cards to the user. The user can then configure each virtual card to connect to a different wireless network. Therefore, VirtualWiFi allows a user to simultaneously connect his machine to multiple wireless networks using just one WLAN card. This new functionality introduced by VirtualWiFi enables many new applications, which were not possible earlier using a single WLAN card. For example, With VirtualWiFi, you can connect to a guest's machine or play games over an ad hoc network, while surfing the web via an infrastructure network. You can use VirtualWiFi to connect your ad hoc network, which may contain many nodes, to the Internet using only one node. VirtualWiFi can help make your home infrastructure network elastic by extending its access to nodes that are out of range of your home WiFi Access Point. In more recent work, we have explored two more applications of VirtualWiFi. The first application, which is a very useful tool for fault diagnosis and recovery in infrastructure wireless networks, is called Client Conduit. Client Conduit is a tool that provides a thin pipe of communication between disconnected clients and back end servers that perform wireless diagnosis and recovery. The thin pipe is achieved by running VirtualWiFi on the connected clients. These clients dynamically connect to disconnected clients over an ad hoc network, and send messages from them to the back end servers. VirtualWiFi enables this thin pipe without requiring the connected client to explicitly disconnect from the infrastructure network. A more detailed description of Client Conduit can be found in the paper titled: "Architecture and Techniques for Diagnosing Faults in IEEE 802.11 Infrastructure Networks".
