GC can use this as dummy trigger. This does not work consistently all the time. Is there a cleaner option or ways to improve reliability for stated option? I'm not sure I understood the use case correctly.. Why would you look at the P2P state machine of SD if the peer devices are already in the group (which is how I interpret that use of "group client/GC" here)? Wouldn't it be simpler to just implement this as a normal Data frame to the association peer device and implement this completely independently of the P2P state machine and P2P Action frames. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
