Abstract This document is the closing report for ARC SC, March 2013, Orlando meeting Mark Hamilton, Spectralink, Corp.
Work Completed • IETF/802 coordination • Reviewed RFC 4441 update. Trying to balance between redundant with CBPs versus enough information here. • Still open for comments – please get comments to Dorothy Stanley • Also, Operations Area working group has gotten submissions on CAPWAP, and will be considering. • Brief update on General Links (11ak) and 802.1 bridging discussions • Most presentations will be in Thursday AM1 joint session • Looks like changes are needed in 802.1AC, which will need a PAR • 802 Overview and Architecture Draft 1.6 sponsor ballot • Ballot deadline extended to Mar 22. Some comments addressed this week, more on telecons. • Reviewed 802.11 section (Annex B.2) and comments submitted. Noted that PLCP/PMD split is being removed from 802.11, so need to describe potential changes in our architecture pictures Mark Hamilton, Spectralink, Corp.
Work Completed (cont) • Architecture of APs/DS/Portals, and 802.1 concepts • Reviewed submission: https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/13/11-13-0115-03-0arc-considerations-on-ap-architectural-models.doc • Agreed 802.11 Figure 5-1 (MAC data plane architecture) has issues and confusing parts. Started work toward a proposed replacement. • Need to get clarification on all (architectural) interface points within 802.11 specification – all MAC-SAPs (are there more than one?), etc. Minutes are in 11-13/0367r0 Teleconferences: • None expected, if needed, will schedule with 10 days notice Mark Hamilton, Spectralink, Corp.
May 2013 Goals • One regular meeting slot planned: • Continue discussion on architectural model for AP (and DS and Portal) and where MAC-SAP interface(s) appear, and how this relates to the 802.1 concepts • 802 O&A sponsor ballot, as appropriate • IETF/802 RFC 4441, as appropriate • One joint meeting slot with TGak • Discussion on 802.11 architectural concepts related to 802 bridging capabilities Mark Hamilton, Spectralink, Corp.
