Title : Light Weight Access Point Protocol
Author(s) : P. Calhoun, et al.
Filename : draft-ohara-capwap-lwapp-04.txt
Pages : 137
Date : 2007-3-2
In the recent years, there has been a shift in wireless LAN product
architectures from autonomous access points to centralized control of
light weight access points. The general goal has been to move most
of the traditional wireless functionality such as access control
(user authentication and authorization), mobility and radio
management out of the access point into a centralized controller.
The IETF's CAPWAP WG has identified that a standards based protocol
is necessary between a wireless Access Controller and Wireless
Termination Points (the latter are also commonly referred to as Light
Weight Access Points). This specification defines the Light Weight
Access Point Protocol (LWAPP), which addresses the CAPWAP's protocol
requirements. Although the LWAPP protocol is designed to be flexible
enough to be used for a variety of wireless technologies, this
specific document describes the base protocol, and an extension that
allows it to be used with the IEEE's 802.11 wireless LAN 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.
