[STDS-802-11-TGAK] List of problems for 1Qbz / 11ak to solve
Donald,
Here is my opinion of our list of issues, in brief:
1. AP architecture issue: What does the "baggy pants" look like for an AP?
2. Station architecture issue: What interface does the station present to
the bridge?
3. Station subletting issue: How does the AP make one transmission and
have the frame reach an arbitrary subset of the other stations on the
medium? This subsumes three sub-issues:
a. The reflection problem.
b. The blocked AP port problem.
C. The different tags for different stations problem.
4. 802.1Q model for queuing in an AP/bridge: How do we adapt this model
to a situation where many ports (one port per non-AP station) have a
single set of queues?
5. QoS in an AP: How do we adapt 802.1Q queue draining models (Quality of
Service models) to the reality of an 802.11 AP or non-AP station? What
QoS can we realistically offer?
6. VLAN tags, in particular, and other tags, in general. How are
multiple-tagged frames represented on 802.11 and 802.3 media, and how are
they transformed when passing between these media?
7. Unreliable links: How do we present wireless connections to the
topology control protocols, when the reality of wireless connections
differs from the current expectations of the protocols?
8. AP-AP communications: How are AP to AP data links for bridges set up
and utilized?
