New Issue 247: MAC Addresses can be larger than 6 octets
Issue: CAPWAP is intended to be flexible to support other wireless technologies
IEEE 802.16 now utilizes a 8 octet MAC Address
Question: Should the base protocol be modified to support the extended address space?
Question: If yes, should the field be variable in length, or static length covering worst case 8 which is either zero padded, if necessary, or has a valid address length byte?
