RFC 5414: Wireless LAN Control Protocol (WiCoP)
This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 5415.
Current version: RFC 5415 — Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) Protocol Specification
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
The popularity of wireless local area networks (WLANs) has led to widespread deployments across different establishments. It has also translated into an increasing scale of the WLANs. Large-scale deployments made of large numbers of wireless termination points (WTPs) and covering substantial areas are increasingly common. The Wireless LAN Control Protocol (WiCoP) described in this document allows for the control and provisioning of large-scale WLANs. It enables central management of these networks and realizes the objectives set forth for the Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP). This document defines a Historic Document for the Internet community.
