ping-pong effect

[Volodymyr Khrystenko]

Hello.

While reading about Cisco Compatible Extension Program, I read about ping-pong effect and new features to solve this problem. So from Cisco guide I read the next:

If the client stays at the edge, it gives a premium to the preferred AP in order to avoid the ping-pong effect

Could someone clarify what this sentence means? What is preffered AP?

Well in regards to the above statement it means after the criteria the AP with better percentage will be selected (prefered AP based on AP selection criteria)
