--- This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Task Group M Technical Reflector ---
Thanks, Mike and Graham. So, Mike, I think there is a technical error then, in that the clause shows this “to different ESS” transition as being under the umbrella of “within a network”. This led to confusion about what “a network” is defined/intended to mean, in the REVme document. I believe the answer to that confusion is that it is actually in error to think that “a different ESS” is (necessarily) within the same network. I suggest that TGme should fix this. We can wait for a future LB comment, or accept an “rogue” comment now – and I’m fine with either approach, at your preference/discretion. Mark From: M Montemurro <montemurro.michael@xxxxxxxxx> --- This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Task Group M Technical Reflector --- Hi Mark, This text goes back to 802.11-1999 and indeed a STA may move from a BSS in an ESS to another BSS in a different ESS. I'd note that in 4.5.3.2 there is additional clarification which I believe is relevant to your interpretation: "This case is supported only in the sense that the STA might move. Maintenance of upper-layer connections cannot be guaranteed by IEEE Std 802.11; in fact, disruption of service is likely to occur." I agree with your interpretation and there is no guarantee that this type of transition would be within a network. It could be the same LAN through a different portal, or a different LAN altogether.
