802.11f
One of the lesser-known ingredients in the alphabet soup of 802.11 wireless LAN specifications, 802.11f is a proposal that describes wireless access-point communications among multivendor systems.
This technology, to be specified as the Inter-Access Point Protocol, handles the registration of APs within a network and the exchange of information when a user is roaming among coverage areas supported by different vendors' access points. It will help with fast hand-off from AP to AP.
