With the overwhelming choice of proprietary implementations of
centralized control and management of wireless access points and
access controllers there is a great demand for a standard protocol
and architecture that enables the deployment of large scale wireless
networks.
This document describes the CAPWAP Tunneling Protocol, a protocol
that allows for the centralized control and provisioning of a large
number of wireless access points from access controllers. It is
supported by an architecture where the MAC layer of the RF technology
is terminated within the AP. This allows for the protocol to be
extensible to multiple radio technologies. It assumes an IP
connection between the access points and access controllers and has
signaling primitives to enable wireless station mobility between
access points. Therefore, seamless Layer 3 subnet mobility is
enabled by this protocol.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
