Subject: [WISPA] layer 2 vs layer 3 wireless mesh networks
Sent: Oct 9, 2008 8:53 PM
I'm looking for info on differences between layer 2 and layer 3 mesh
networks. From what I can tell, it's something like the following:
layer 2: manageable via IP address, but you really only control the
PHY/DATA link layer stuff (channels, 802.1Q VLAN tagging, 802.11e, etc)
layer 3: some other controller uses some sort of layer 3-ish protocol
(e.g. LWAPP) to talk to the access points and manage the PHY/DATA link
layer stuff.
Is this an accurate description? Or am I missing something?
Also, which is better? Is either categorically better? Or do
different environments lend themselves to one solution or the other?
