linux 802.11s mesh should process GANN IE for interoperability

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



802.11s says gate announcement can be done in 3 ways.
1. proactive PREQ with gate bit set.
2. RANN with gate bit set.
3. GANN

Linux mac80211 chooses to ride on RANN, which is fine.
But, on receiving side, it should process GANN IE because other vendor may choose to use GANN way.

At this point (as of kernel 3.6.6). GANN IE is ignored 
In both  ieee80211_parse_elems_crc() and mesh_rx_path_sel_frame()
