Evaluation Team Details • Team Members • David Nelson <dnelson@enterasys.com> • Oleg Volinsky <ovolinsky@colubris.com> • Behcet Sarikaya <sarikaya@unbc.ca> • Darren Loher – Editor <dloher@rovingplanet.com> • Team Meetings • Team formed 8th June 2005 • Weekly meetings 15 June – 29 July • Observed by WG Chairs • Evaluation draft completed 13 September 2005 CAPWAP WG - IETF 64
Summary Results C = Complete Compliance P = Partial Compliance F = Failed Compliance CAPWAP WG - IETF 64
Evaluation Draft Recommendations • Protocol Recommendation • Adopt LWAPP as the base protocol • Several additional technical recommendations made • Evaluation team believes the working group should consider the technical merit of these recommendations • Primary Recommendations • 9.1.1. Information Elements • 9.1.2 Control Channel Security (DTLS) • 9.1.3 Data Tunneling Modes (Local MAC user data tunneling) • Additional Recommendations • 9.2.1. Access Control (Add mobile) • 9.2.2. Removal of Layer 2 Encapsulation for Data Tunneling • 9.2.3. Data Encapsulation Standard (GRE, L2TP) • A few recommendations in the body of the text • Configuration Consistency • Firmware Trigger • DoS consideration for join method CAPWAP WG - IETF 64
Protocol Recommendation Use LWAPP as the base protocol for CAPWAP • Most closely meets all the working group objectives • The most detailed and complete specification • Flexible enough to be extended CAPWAP WG - IETF 64
Recommendation: Information Elements CAPWAP WG - IETF 64

Recommendation:STA Access Control (Add Mobile) CAPWAP WG - IETF 64
Recommendation:Removal of Layer 2 encapsulated tunnel for data CAPWAP WG - IETF 64
Recommendation:Change data encapsulation to standard (GRE) CAPWAP WG - IETF 64
Additional Recommendations • Configuration Consistency • Objective is to maintain configurations for a large number of network elements (1000’s) • Recommend that a token, key or serial number be used to represent WTP configuration • Allows quick configuration audit for a large number of devices • Firmware Trigger • The firmware trigger needs to be executed at any time in state machine • Should not require multiple resets/reboots of WTP just to initiate firmware check and update) • Allows possibility of less disruptive firmware upgrades than current LWAPP mechanism • DoS consideration • LWAP should recommend throttling of join requests to protect the AC CAPWAP WG - IETF 64
