In case of residential wireless LAN all network nodes form just single
"cell".
But corporate wireless LAN consists of multiple "cells" and when users are
located
within reach of several retransmitters in fact they are constantly "roaming"
between
different "cells". User will not notice these switches from one cell to
another
but it makes VPN session to drop. There is some VPN software on the market
which addresses this issue.
