The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IEEE 802.11 MAC Profile for CAPWAP' (draft-ietf-opsawg-capwap-hybridmac-08.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Operations and Management Area Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Benoit Claise and Joel Jaeggli. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-opsawg-capwap-hybridmac/ Technical Summary This document defines an IEEE 802.11 MAC profile which specifies the division of encryption functionality between the Wireless Transmission Point (WTP) and the Access Controller (AC). This is to alleviate interoperability issues, especially when the AC and WTP come from different vendors. Working Group Summary There was no drama in the WG related to this document. OpsAWG provides a home for the CAPWAP work within the IETF, but CAPWAP is not the primary focus of the WG. This means that only a small number of participants had an opinion on the work, but those who did were supportive. We also received a comment from the IEEE 802.11 Working Group Chair, stating that: "The IEEE 802.11 Working Group has also reviewed this document and has no comments on its content." Document Quality This document is well written, clear and concise. Personnel Warren Kumari is the Document Shepherd. Benoit Claise is the Responsible Area Director.
