基于CAPWAP协议的AP模拟器的设计与实现

Design and implementation of CAPWAP-based AP simulator

针对在开发无线AC(接入控制器)的过程中出现的多AP(接入点)和多用户终端接入测试困难的问题,提出了一种基于CAPWAP(无线接入点控制与供应)协议的AP模拟器的设计与实现。该模拟器可根据CAPWAP协议原理,简化真实AP的实现过程,模拟真实AP的接入控制流程,根据测试需要实现多AP和多用户终端的接入控制,同时还可以完成对AC性能的简单评估。

In view of the difficulties in multi-Access Points （AP） and multi-user terminal access tests in the development of wireless Access Controllers （AC）, this paper presents the design and implementation of an AP simulator. Based on the principle of Controlling and Provisioning of Wireless Access Point （CAPWAP）, this simulator simplifies the implementation process of a real AP and simulates its access control flow. Furthermore, in line with the testing requirements, it can complete multi-AP, multi-user terminal access control and the simple assessment of the AC performances.
