Support for 802.11f "Inter-Access Point Protocol"

Hi there,

Anyone know what the support/timeline would be for support of this feature in MT?
“Fast secure roaming” is apparently a benefit.
It’s appearing in tenders for WiFi.

Regards,

Stephen

I have just answered my own question.

“IEEE 802.11F was a Trial Use Recommended Practice. The IEEE 802 Executive Committee approved its withdrawal on November 18, 2005.”

i.e. it’s no longer a supported standard - the problem being “The handover delay is too long to support applications like voice and video”

The replacement is 802.11r a draft standard
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11r

so now the request should be, “please support that, when ratified”.

Regards

Stephen
