Capwap Mailing List: Issue 244: Preamble Header Optimization moved from Wish List to Active Issues Database

Title: Issue 244: Preamble Header Optimization moved from Wish List to Active Issues Database

Dear WG,

While reviewing the recently closed issues, it appears that Issue 244, Preamble Header Optimization, was mistakenly moved to the Wish list without a clear decision from the WG to do so.  As a result, we'll be moving issue 244 from the Wish list back into the "features" section of the database, so that the WG can further discuss this issue and decide what to do about it.  Issue 244 should be considered an open issue against the CAPWAP drafts.

Issue 244 was discussed on the list under issue 224 before the interim meeting, during the Interim meeting and again further discussed on the WG list.  The proposed solution was sent to the list on Jan 31, 2007 in this message:  http://lists.frascone.com/pipermail/capwap/msg04161.html

It does not appear that the WG made a decision on this issue either way, before it was moved to the Wish list, possibly because the discussion was lost inside a discussion of related issues.

The WG should consider the proposed solution for Issue 244, and discuss the following alternatives on the WG list:

1) Adopt the proposed optimizations
2) Reject the proposed optimizations
3) Move Issue 244 to the Wish list (as this is an optimization, not a bug fix) for future consideration.

Best Regards,
Mani, Margaret and Dorothy
