[STDS-802-11-TGAK] Minutes of 802.1Qbz / 802.11ak dialin, Oct 28, 2013
1. Intellectual Property slides read.
2. Quick review of Finn's 13-1055 on tag stacking.
3. Review of Hamilton's 13-1216 presentation on tag stacking.
Consensus at meeting was that:
A. 802.11ak will use Length/Type for all elements of frame except,
perhaps the first.
B. We will discuss in Dallas, hopefully with ASIC designers present,
whether it would be easy to use Length/Type for all parts of an 802.11ak
frame, or whether it is better to leave the very first part as LLC.
C. The existing rule for 802.11 for tag stacking, that all elements are
LLC, will remain for non-802.11ak uses. This seems to mean that APs will
have to be updated when new tags are introduced.
D. 802.1 can define a new means for LLC media, where after-the-first
element is Length/Type, if it wants to.
