Stijn Tintel 5be681931f policy: allow disabling load balancing

Load-balancing only makes sense where multiple APs are deployed in the
same area. Enabling load-balancing between APs in different rooms might
steer clients to APs with a much lower signal strength, resulting in
lower data rates and inefficient use of airtime.

Allow disabling load balancing by setting the threshold to 0.

usteer

usteer is a client steering daemon written for OpenWrt.

Its goal is to optimize roaming behavior of wireless clients (STAs) in a ESS consisting of multiple BSS / APs.

Functions

Synchronization of Neighbor Reports between multiple APs
Policy-based decisions for probe- / association- / authentication requests received from STAs
Requesting clients to roam to a different BSS based on SNR / signal-level
Channel-load based client steering to different BSS

Installation

usteer is available from the OpenWrt packages feed and can be installed on devices running OpenWrt 21.02+ using opkg:

opkg update; opkg install usteer

Submitting patches

usteer patches are welcome on the openwrt-devel mailing list.

Before submitting patches, check out OpenWrts guide on submission policies.

Make sure to add a usteer subject prefix using the --subject-prefix option when exporting the patch with git format-patch.
