Title : CAPWAP Taxonomy Recommendations
Author(s) : P. Calhoun, et al.
Filename : draft-calhoun-capwap-taxonomy-recommendation-01.txt
Pages : 20
Date : 2005-7-18
The IETF's CAPWAP working group has documented various product
architectures and has categorized the Centralized WLAN Architectures
into two main buckets: Split and Local MAC. While the document
contains very relevant and useful information, what it does is list
the architectural variants of these two buckets, but does not
unambiguously define either the Split MAC or Local MAC architectures.
In order for CAPWAP to be successful, it is crucial for the protocol
evaluation team, and the working group, to agree on unambiguous
terminology to describe these architectures.
This document proposes terminology to unambiguously describe the
relevant architectures found in the taxonomy document, for the
purpose of initiating a discussion within the working group and to
allow the protocol evaluation work to come to a fruitful conclusion.
We conclude in this document that the architectures are very similar
and could be supported via a single 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
Internet-Draft.
