Subject: [Capwap] Some points on CAPWAP protocol

Hi,
 
I have a few points that i will like to make.
 
I notice from some proposed CAPWAP protocols that they support state state information collection but does not explicitly state what kind of information is monitored or exchanged and how to make use of it. I felt that the CAPWAP proposal should at least explain such procedures so that it will be easier to gauge how the proposal can perform effectively.
 
Another point is that given that the CAPWAP protocol supports a large network, it is possible that a situation can occur in which the state information or the number of control packets can be huge and incur high costs in term of processing delay and memory usage. Furthermore, a high control overhead can lead to a drop in available bandwidth that can impair network performance especially in the wireless domain. Thus it is also important that the operation of the CAPWAP protocol should be kept as simpler as possible.
 
Appreciate any comments to my above observations.
 
Thanks and regards
Richard Gwee
