Abstract:
The CAPWAP protocol supports two modes of operation: Split and Local
MAC (medium access control), which has been described in
[RFC5415].There are many functions in IEEE 802l.11 MAC layer that
have not yet been clearly defined whether they belong to either the
AP (Access Point) or the AC (Access Controller)in the Split and Local
modes. Because different vendors have their own definition of these
two models, depending upon the vendor many MAC layer functions
continue to be mapped differently to either the AP or AC. If there
is no clear definition of split MAC and local MAC, then operators
will not only need to perform vendor specific configurations in their
network but will continue to experience difficulty in interoperating
APs and ACs from different vendors.
