802.11m
802.11m is an Initiative to perform editorial maintenance, corrections, improvements, clarifications, and
interpretations relevant to documentation for 802.11 family specifications.
802.11n
802.11n is a wireless networking standard to improve network throughput over the two previous standards,
802.11a and 802.11g. With 802.11n, there will be a significant increase in the maximum raw data rate from 54
Mbps to 600 Mbps with the use of four spatial streams at a channel width of 40 MHz.
802.11r
802.11r is an IEEE standard for enabling seamless BSS transitions in a WLAN. 802.11r standard is also
referred to as Fast BSS transition.
802.11u
802.11u is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 WLAN standards for connection to external networks using
common wireless devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs. The 802.11u protocol provides wireless
clients with a streamlined mechanism to discover and authenticate to suitable networks, and allows mobile
users to roam between partner networks without additional authentication. An 802.11u-capable device
supports the Passpoint technology from the Wi-Fi Alliance Hotspot 2.0 R2 Specification that simplifies and
automates access to public Wi-Fi.
802.11v
802.11v is an IEEE standard that allows client devices to exchange information about the network topology
and RF environment. This information is used for assigning best available radio resources for the client
devices to provide seamless connectivity.
802.1Q
802.1Q is an IEEE standard that enables the use of VLANs on an Ethernet network. 802.1Q supports VLAN
tagging.
802.1X
802.1X is an IEEE standard for port-based network access control designed to enhance 802.11 WLAN security.
802.1X provides an authentication framework that allows a user to be authenticated by a central authority.
802.3af
802.3af is an IEEE standard for Power over Ethernet (PoE) version that supplies up to 15.4W of DC power. See
PoE.
802.3at
802.3at is an IEEE standard for PoE version that supplies up to 25.5W of DC power. See PoE+.
AAA
Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting. AAA is a security framework to authenticate users, authorize
the type of access based on user credentials, and record authentication events and information about the
network access and network resource consumption.
