Standards to be supported

Scope


  ...........The Local MAC mode of operation allows for the data frames to be
  either locally bridged or tunneled as 802.3 frames. ...................
  .........................When Local Bridging is used, the WTP does not tunnel user
  traffic to the AC; all user traffic is locally bridged.  ..................

Software Components

     Handles UDP & DTLS connections
    Implements CAPWAP Protocol
    South bound ODL plugin
    Database for Access Points
    Example application which could demonstrate  e2e network abstraction
