IEEE P802.11-07/2491r2doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/xxx2r0 July 2007 November 2007July 2007 IEEE P802.11-07/2491r2doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/xxx2r0 doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/xxx2r0 January 2008 Abstract 802.11 networks frequently handle different communities that need to be provided separate services. This is typically done by VLANs in wired networks. The need varies from distinguishing between “visitors” and “residents” in a home network to much stronger and more complex requirements in enterprise, municipal, and other systems. This presentation provides scenarios and requirement areas for adding segregated data services to IEEE 802.11. Slide 2 D. Eastlake (Motorola) D. Eastlake (Motorola), G.

Advertising Availability of Services In 802.11, “service” = SSID TGu is adding facilities to advertise multiple SSIDs Transit Frame Labelling Just use VLAN ID in an 802.1 C-tag (formerly called Q-tag)? New Work? Portal/Link Mapping of Services/VLANs & Priority Must be configurable but should have reasonable defaults Service Location & Multi-Service Connections Primarily relates to mesh and mesh peer links Security Tunnelling a frame through nodes not fully trusted by the endpoints.

Advertising Availability of Services July 2007 November 2007July 2007 IEEE P802.11-07/2491r2doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/xxx2r0 doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/xxx2r0 January 2008 Advertising Availability of Services Work in progress: General Advertisement Service (GAS) mechanisms in 802.11 TGu (Interworking with External Networks). Includes SSIDC (SSID Container IE) for transmission of multiple SSIDs (with or without multiple BSSIDs) in a single beacon. Slide 8 D. Eastlake (Motorola) D. Eastlake (Motorola), G.

Transit Frame Labelling July 2007 November 2007July 2007 IEEE P802.11-07/2491r2doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/xxx2r0 doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/xxx2r0 January 2008 Transit Frame Labelling Current Practice: Base 802.11 standard explicitly permits 802.1 C-Tag (formerly Q-Tag) in payload (802.11-2007 Annex M) but C-Tag’s priority and VLAN ID fields are currently ignored.

Portal/Link Mapping of Services/VLANs & Priority July 2007 November 2007July 2007 IEEE P802.11-07/2491r2doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/xxx2r0 doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/xxx2r0 January 2008 Portal/Link Mapping of Services/VLANs & Priority Possible new work: VLAN IDs can probably be coordinated across an ESS. But in a mesh this would be very difficult. So maybe in a mesh the VLAN ID is just a local abbreviation mapped on each peer link hop? Should portals have a configurable mapping, with reasonable defaults, between external priority and 802.11 TID? Slide 10 D. Eastlake (Motorola) D. Eastlake (Motorola), G.

Service Location & Multi-Service Connections July 2007 November 2007July 2007 IEEE P802.11-07/2491r2doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/xxx2r0 doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/xxx2r0 January 2008 Service Location & Multi-Service Connections Possible new work: A legacy station to AP link is probably limited to carrying one service. But mesh peer links might carry any service that is transiting the mesh… How does a mesh station (which might have just joined the mesh) find a new service that was not previously transiting the mesh but is offered by some other station/portal?

Possible new work: Optional edge-to-edge security between original source 802.11 station and final destination 802.11 station. Slide 12 D. Eastlake (Motorola) Page 12 D. Eastlake (Motorola), G.
