This specification describes a system and method that can offer, among other advantages, a technique for resource assignment that involves obtaining a group of resources, repeatedly selecting a resource from the group of resources until a resource that is available is selected, and associating a client or process with that resource. An example of a method according to the technique includes obtaining a group of VLANs for assignment to a client based on client identity, selecting a first choice from the group of VLANs, selecting a next choice from the group of VLANs if the first choice is unavailable, and connecting the client to the selected VLAN. The client identity may include, by way of example but not limitation, a MAC address, an SSID, or some other known or convenient way to identify the client. A system constructed according to the technique may include, by way of example but not limitation, memory, a resource group name decoder, a value calculator, an index calculator, and a selector. The memory may include, for example, a resource name buffer, an identity buffer, a result buffer, a resource count buffer, a resource name array, and a selected resource buffer.

What is claimed is: 1. A system comprising: memory, including: a resource name buffer; an identity buffer; a result buffer; a virtual local area network (VLAN) resource count buffer; a VLAN resource name array; a selected VLAN resource buffer; a VLAN resource group name decoder coupled to the resource name buffer, VLAN resource count buffer, and VLAN resource name array; a value calculator coupled to the identity buffer and the result buffer; an index calculator coupled to the VLAN resource count buffer; a selector coupled to the index calculator, VLAN resource name array, and selected VLAN resource buffer; wherein, in operation, one or more processors are employed such that: an encoded resource name is stored in the resource name buffer; an identity parameter is stored in the identity buffer; the VLAN resource group name decoder reads the encoded resource name, decodes the name to obtain decoded list elements, writes a count of the list elements to the VLAN resource count buffer, and writes the decoded list elements to the VLAN resource name array; the value calculator processes the identity parameter stored in the identity buffer to produce a value that is stored in the result buffer; the index calculator takes the value stored in the result buffer modulo the count of the list elements stored in the VLAN resource count buffer; the selector uses the result of the index calculator as an array index to select a VLAN resource name from the VLAN resource name array and stores the VLAN resource name in the selected VLAN resource buffer; a wireless station is associated with the VLAN resource identified in the selected VLAN resource buffer. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein, in operation, the resource name buffer stores a VLAN name. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein, in operation, the identity buffer stores a MAC address. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein, in operation, the value calculator processes the identity parameter stored in the identity buffer to produce an integer. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein, the value calculator includes a hash calculator. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the identity parameter includes one or more portions, and wherein, in operation, the value calculator: sets a partial result, R, to an initial value; loops until each of the one or more portions of the identity parameter have been processed, during which the value calculator: sets R to R times a multiplier; sets R to R plus a next portion of the identity parameter; sets R to R modulo a modulus; obtaining a result that is equal to R after a last iteration of the loop. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein, the VLAN resource name array is a one-dimensional array. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the decoded list elements are associated with network resources to which a user of the wireless station is authorized access. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein the VLAN resource count buffer includes a single integer value. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein the VLAN resource count buffer is decremented by one if the index calculator generates a result that causes the selector to select a VLAN resource that is not currently available.
