Abstract

This document aims to provide a framework for the support of wireless LANs (WLANs) in an IPv6-only environment. It is hoped that it will serve as an IPv6 WLAN design and implementation guide for readers that are unfamiliar with IPv6 and/or WLANs. The original focus for this document was to be on access control solutions but we have now expanded the scope to include all aspects of deploying IPv6 WLANs. While authentication and access control still remain a significant part of this deliverable, we also look at the issues in designing and implementing the WLAN together with IPv6 or MIPv6 specific issues that should be taken into consideration. We have also added a section on hardware and software availability. We also focus on IEEE 802.11 based WLANs since these are by far the most widely deployed and are certainly beginning to live up to the `wireless Ethernet' tag. This is an update to the second version of the deliverable.
