Some of The Expectations
- Allow roaming between 802.11 networks and 3G cellular networks.
- Allow users to engage in ad hoc teleconferencing.
- Apply to both wired and wireless networks, likely the same list as IEEE P1905 specifies to cooperate in software-defined networking (see also OpenFlow)
- Allow for use by multiple vendors and users.
- Compatibility and conformance with other IEEE 802 standards especially 802.11u unknown user authentication and 802.11s ad hoc wireless mesh networking.
- Include definitions for managed objects that are compatible with management standards like SNMP.
- Although security algorithms and security protocols will not be defined in the standard, authentication, authorization, and network detection and selection will be supported by the protocol.

Famous quotes containing the word expectations:
“The term preschooler signals another change in our expectations of children. While toddler refers to physical development, preschooler refers to a social and intellectual activity: going to school. That shift in emphasis is tremendously important, for it is at this age that we think of children as social creatures who can begin to solve problems.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
