Early Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) deployments feature a "fat"
   Access Point (AP) which serves as a stand-alone interface between the
   wired and wireless network segments.  However, this model raises
   scaling, mobility, and manageability issues, and the Control and
   Provisioning for Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) protocol is meant to
   address these issues.  CAPWAP effectively splits the fat AP
   functionality into two network elements, and the communication
   channel between these components may traverse potentially hostile
   hops.  This document analyzes the security exposure resulting from
   the introduction of CAPWAP, and summarizes the associated security
   considerations for IEEE 802.11-based CAPWAP implementations and deployments.
