Spelling: 802.11f
One of the lesser-known ingredients in the alphabet soup of 802.11 [1]
wireless LAN specifications, 802.11f [2] 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.
From Do we need AP interoperability? [3] Network World on Wireless in
the Enterprise, 09/02/02.
