All,

Issue 132 is included in the email below.

Proposed Resolution:

Change goal #1 in section 1.1 from

To centralize the bridging, forwarding, authentication and policy
enforcement functions for a
wireless network. Optionally, the AC may also provide centralized encryption
of user traffic.
Centralization of these functions will enable reduced cost and higher
efficiency by applying
the capabilities of network processing silicon to the wireless network, as
in wired LANs.
