IEEE 802.21 - Some of The Expectations

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:

    True balance requires assigning realistic performance expectations to each of our roles. True balance requires us to acknowledge that our performance in some areas is more important than in others. True balance demands that we determine what accomplishments give us honest satisfaction as well as what failures cause us intolerable grief.
    Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
