Capwap Mailing List: Bidirectional data transfer

[Abhijit Choudhury (achoudhu) (achoudhu]

In the CAPWAP spec, Data Transfer Request messages are sent by the WTP to the

AC when the WTP determines that it has important information to send to

the AC.  This is is essentially a "push" mechanism that is used to transfer

crash files etc. to the AC, and works well for remote debugging.

 

However, it's desirable to have a mechanism by which the AC can "pull"

data related to crashes etc. from the WTP. This would be helpful when

debugging from the CLI.

 

We should make data transfer bi-directional so that both "push" and

"pull" models are supported.

 

Thoughts/comments ?

 

Thanks,

Abhijit
