Abstract:
The CAPWAP protocol binding for IEEE 802.11 defines two MAC (Medium
Access Control) modes for IEEE 802.11 WTP (Wireless Transmission
Point): Split and Local MAC. In the Split MAC mode, the partitioning
of encryption/decryption functions are not clearly defined. In the
Split MAC mode description, IEEE 802.11 encryption is specified as
located in either the AC (Access Controller) or the WTP, with no
clear way for the AC to inform the WTP of where the encryption
functionality should be located. This leads to interoperability
issues, especially when the AC and WTP come from different vendors.
To prevent interoperability issues, this specification defines an
IEEE 802.11 MAC profile message element in which each profile
specifies an unambiguous division of encryption functionality between
the WTP and AC.
