What About IEEE 802.11T? IEEE 802.11T PAR limits scope to 802.11 WLAN devices and networks; no mention of IPv4 or IPv6 WLAN switches have Ethernet interfaces, not 802.11 WLAN switches do not contain conforming implementations of the 802.11 PHY or MAC WLAN switches usually transport IP-encapsulated packets BMWG standardizes IP-level benchmark terminology & methodology Layer 3-7 functions outside the scope of normal 802 work BMWG has far more background in switching & routing benchmarking Can draw on a large experience base (RFC 1242 and 2285) CAPWAP and MANET are already IETF work items Makes sense to keep it all together |
