Aerohive Networks' Cooperative Control architecture provides a simple, logical, and low-cost alternative for deploying WLAN infrastructures. The Aerohive approach combines a linear and predictable cost structure - regardless of deployment type or size - with the industry's most user-friendly and scalable WNMS.
Aerohive has created a high-performance, feature-packed WLAN infrastructure system that significantly reduces the overall CAPEX and OPEX costs and the complexity of deploying and scaling convenience-oriented and mission-critical enterprise networks. With Cooperative Control, the intent of Wi-Fi's founding fathers has been realized. Protocols are free.

This is a most interesting paper on various architectures for controlling wireless LANs. In particular, the centralized versus distributed discussion is quite familiar to many of us.
While there are certain aspects that are unique to the WLAN world, I also find it comforting that we are still having many of the same discussions that we had in the 1980s concerning centralized versus distributed control for T1 mux networks.
Very much worth the read!
