Looking at the code[0], it seems to be a userspace daemon that does encapsulation of traffic and sends it over a separate, hidden BSS that is access-controlled to only allow stations that already performed their handshake. So, conceptually it turns several WiFi links into a bonded device where the AP can steer the traffic between underlying devices. It's an interesting idea, but I doubt it'll see much deployment: Just the requirement of running a daemon on each client device is bound to put a damper on that. It's not quite clear to me whether the station would need to support associating on multiple bands at the same time; not sure how many clients do that... Also, I wonder how well the userspace encapsulation stuff works on a low-powered AP? -Toke [0] https://github.com/ewsi/dcstad is the client daemon; the github org has the rest. _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
