doc.: IEEE 802.11-03/0563-00-000i Submission July 2003 Petroni,Arbaugh WAA Associates, LLC.Slide 8 Problems Encountered Interoperability Problems –One client could not successfully authenticate with one AP regardless of card used. –One client/card combination failed to interoperate –One combination of client/card/AP consistently resulted in 1.Reassociation 2.4-way handshake 3.Deauthentication 4.Full Association 5.4-way handshake –Two cards used (seemingly) proprietary means with the same AP, failing to ever do a 4-way HS

doc.: IEEE 802.11-03/0563-00-000i Submission July 2003 Petroni,Arbaugh WAA Associates, LLC.Slide 21 Summary of Results Interoperability problems were MUCH larger than expected. An optimized client on a Pentium 4 (we didn’t have a client for a PDA to test) has a ~20ms latency for the 4-way.

doc.: IEEE 802.11-03/0563-00-000i Submission July 2003 Petroni,Arbaugh WAA Associates, LLC.Slide 22 Conclusions A 4-way latency of ~20ms in the best case (no RF contention, fast processor, no RADIUS delay as in PMK caching) creates a total layer 2 latency that will likely exceed 50ms when combined with the probe phase latency. We’ve already dropped 2.5 VoIP packets and we haven’t added in the layer 3 latency yet.

doc.: IEEE 802.11-03/0563-00-000i Submission July 2003 Petroni,Arbaugh WAA Associates, LLC.Slide 23 Recommendations WECA should consider a “bake off” to quickly identify interoperability problems. TGi should consider splitting the PAR into two working groups. The first would complete the current draft components, and the second would define a fast hand-off specification that utilizes the current key hierarchy.
