The CAPWAP problem statement describes a problem that needs to be
addressed before a wireless LAN (WLAN) network designer can construct
a solution composed of Wireless Termination Points (WTP) and Access
Controllers (AC) from multiple, different vendors. One of the
primary goals is to find a solution that solves the interoperability
between the two classes of devices (WTPs and ACs) which then enables
an AC from one vendor to control and manage a WTP from another. RNP
is a protocol that supports the management of WTP's Radio
information, Session Parameters, Data Forwarding and interaction with
the Wireless Portal. The RNP protocol consists of five sub-
protocols: RNP-DT (Data Tunneling), RNP-SM (Session Management),
RNP-RC (Radio Control), RNP-DF (Data Forwarding), and RNP-WP
(Wireless Portal). The RTP protocol with it's family of protocol
provides a complete control situation for the CAPWAP environment. In
many ways, RNP provides a super set of the RNP requiremetns.

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.
