information from the WAN Metrics configured here to make network selection
decisions. The mobile device can determine if necessary throughput is
available from the hotspot before connecting. If the mobile device receives
indication that the basic service set (BSS) is at capacity, the device will
not associate with that AP.

information to make network selection decisions by determining which
services are blocked or supported at the hotspot. Configure up to 16
ports.
To add a protocol, select
New. Select the protocol, the port number, and the
status associated with the protocol. Valid status values include:
Closed, Open, or Unknown.
