Effectiveness of Reduction of Message Exchanges Authors: Date: 2010-07-14 Hiroki Nakano, Trans New Technology, Inc.
Significant comments to FIA • Proposed idea and scope • Reducing the number of massage exchange of association and authentication. • Comment • Is this enough effective to reduce the total link set up time? • Should we consider the reduction of the number of exchanges of the higher layer? Hiroki Nakano, Trans New Technology, Inc.
STA AP 1/16 = 6.25% Probe (1 round trip) Authentication (1 round trip) 2/16 = 12.5% Association (1 round trip) EAPOL-Start Most of message exchanges are consumed for Authentication and Association. EAPOL-Start (0.5round trip) EAP-Identity (1 round trip) Establishing TLS tunnel for PEAP (3 round trip) 11/16 = 68.75% PEAP EAP-MSCHAPv2 (4 round trip) EAP-Success EAPOL-Success (0.5round trip) EAPOL-Key (2 round trip) DHCP (2 round trip) 2/16=12.5% Hiroki Nakano, Trans New Technology, Inc.
How many roundtrips do messages go? 75% off! Hiroki Nakano, Trans New Technology, Inc.
Other considerations • Channel scan sometimes employs a few seconds. • This is an implementation issue. • An STA having multiple channel radio can do for a couple of milliseconds. • DHCP for IPv4 sometimes employs a few seconds. • This is another implementation issue. • An STA can send DHCPREQUEST as soon as receive the first DHCPOFFER. This enables STA to complete DHCP process in a few 10 milliseconds without any violation against RFC2131 (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). Hiroki Nakano, Trans New Technology, Inc.
Collaboration with DHCP 50% off! • If 802.11 provides mechanism transferring data to assign an IP address during process of 802.11, total message exchanges are reduced moreover. • But this is a minor problem. Hiroki Nakano, Trans New Technology, Inc.
Conclusion • Question • Is this enough effective to reduce the total link set up time? • Should we consider the reduction of the exchange number of the higher layer? • Answer • During setting up link, most time-consuming part is “Authentication and key distribution.” • FIA tries to shorten the very part. • If 802.11 helps its upper layer, things get better.
