Abstract
A technique is disclosed for conveying extended functionality control and management information in networks. Enhanced stations encode the control and management information in pre-existing messages. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment of the present invention, the enhanced stations perform the encoding without the need to create nonstandard or proprietary frame formats. Unenhanced stations that are present in the same network as enhanced stations react to the encoded information in a benign way.
