Capwap Mailing List: Re: So many architectures, so little time... - take 2

[Shankar Narayanaswamy (wireless]

The question is: control and provisioning of what? WTP alone? WTP with 
some MAC functionality? WTP with full MAC functionality?

Which leads to how data is moved from the WTP to the AC. For example, is 
it encrypted or in the clear?

Lily's proposal is a reasonable one, for which the next steps would be 
clearer definition of the meaning of "Local MAC" and "Split MAC", and 
greater clarity on the objectives/parameters of the architecture and 
supporting protocol (e.g. what does the security solution protect us 
from, latency goals to support VoIP, deployment scenarios, etc).
