Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points Protocol Specification
RFC 5415, “Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points Protocol Specification”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2009 by P. Calhoun, M. Montemurro, D. Stanley. It obsoletes RFC 5414. It has since been updated by RFC 8553, RFC 8996. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This specification defines the Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) Protocol, meeting the objectives defined by the CAPWAP Working Group in RFC 4564. The CAPWAP protocol is designed to be flexible, allowing it to be used for a variety of wireless technologies. This document describes the base CAPWAP protocol, while separate binding extensions will enable its use with additional wireless technologies. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
