1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a centralized service discovery management (CSDM) system, a service discovery record from a source access point (AP) of a plurality of APs deployed in an information technology (IT) infrastructure, wherein the CSDM system is deployed outside the IT infrastructure, and wherein the service discovery record comprises information about an application server;
generating, by the CSDM system, a neighbor AP group for the application server based on nearness between the source AP and the rest of the plurality of APs, wherein the neighbor AP group comprises a set of neighbor APs identified from the plurality of APs such that an average received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value for wireless signals between each of the set of neighbor APs and the source AP is greater than an RSSI threshold; and
transmitting, by the CSDM system, the service discovery record to the set of neighbor APs so that the application server is discoverable by a first client device connected to the set of neighbor APs that are part of the neighbor AP group but not discoverable by a second client device connected to one or more APs that are not in neighbor AP group for the application server.
