A session in this context is the period of time in which a user on a client device 
(station) with a unique MAC address maintains a connection with the wireless 
network. The session begins when the client logs on to the network, and the 
session ends when the client either logs off intentionally or loses the connection 
for some other reason.
NOTE
A session is not the same as an association, which describes a client connection to 
a particular access point. A client network connection can shift from one clustered 
access point to another within the context of the same session. A client station can 
roam between access points and maintain the session.
To manage sessions associated with the cluster, click the Sessions tab.
