What does roaming aggressiveness mean?

Roaming aggressiveness refers to the interval time and conditions that will trigger a wireless network card to search for and connect to an alternative AP. Boosting your roaming aggressiveness increases the rate at which your network card will seek out an AP with a stronger signal.

Preemptive scanning is preferred to roam-time, since it minimizes roam time.
