FT Introduction

1.Introduction

establishes the state necessary for data connectivity before  the reassociation rather than after the re-association .

2. method: 

FT-Over-air: interact with the target ap directly. 

FT-Over-DS: interact with the target ap througt the ds.

3.Protocol

FT protocol

FT Resource request protocol

FT 4-way handshake

4.FT hierarchy key architecture
