Abstract:
Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) defines a
specification to encapsulate a station's data frames between the
Wireless Transmission Point (WTP) and Access Controller (AC).
Specifically, the station's IEEE 802.11 data frames can be either
locally bridged or tunneled to the AC. When tunneled, a CAPWAP data
channel is used for tunneling. In many deployments encapsulating
data frames to an entity other than the AC (for example to an Access
Router (AR)) is desirable. Furthermore, it may also be desirable to
use different tunnel encapsulation modes between the WTP and the
Access Router. This document defines extension to CAPWAP protocol
for supporting this capability and refers to it as alternate tunnel
encapsulation. The alternate tunnel encapsulation allows 1) the WTP
to tunnel non-management data frames to an endpoint different from
the AC and 2) the WTP to tunnel using one of many known encapsulation
types such as IP-IP, IP-GRE, CAPWAP. The WTP may advertise support
for alternate tunnel encapsulation during the discovery and join
process and AC may select one of the supported alternate tunnel
encapsulation types while configuring the WTP.
