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
WTP (Wireless Termination Points) 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 WTP
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 WTPs and ACs from different vendors.
