Abstract

The popularity of wireless local area networks (WLANs) has led to

widespread deployments across different establishments. It has also translated into an increasing scale of the WLANs. Large-scale

deployments made of large numbers of wireless termination points

(WTPs) and covering substantial areas are increasingly common.

The Wireless LAN Control Protocol (WiCoP) described in this document allows for the control and provisioning of large-scale WLANs. It

enables central management of these networks and realizes the

objectives set forth for the Control And Provisioning of Wireless

Access Points (CAPWAP).
