802.11f
802.11f is a proposal that describes an optional extention to 802.11 that provides wireless access-point communications among multivendor systems.
802.11f
The base 802.11 standard does not specify subscriber mobility or roaming from one access point to another. 802.11f specifies a protocol between access points also known as the Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP). It handles the registration of APs within a network and the exchange of information when a user is roaming among coverage areas supported by different vendors' access points. It will help with fast hand-off from AP to AP.
