Re: laugh test - capwap
high level thought:
Split AP is another sushi truck control protocol - in the Internet, but not
of the Internet.
The justifications for doing it in the IETF would be:
- it's important for the Internet, because so many clients are 802.11
wireless (doesn't convince me)
- it's important to be interoperable between vendors, so a standard is
needed (seems OK, but doesn't bias IEEE/IETF choice of venue)
- IETF has more expertise in doing this (for some definiton of "this") than
IEEE (seems doubtful)
The last effort that tried for something in nearly the same space was
FORCES, I think. What's the relationship (if any) between what was learned
there and this effort?
Nit - one thing is for certain: calling the thing that does weird stuff
with Access Points an Access Router is a biasing of the architecture that's
completely uncalled-for. No way you should require the net's access router
and AP controller to be on the same box.
My small change.
