Source notes citing this source

• RFC 7105 lets a device report LLDP chassis and port identifiers learned from the adjacent node in a location request, and requires the device to report them exactly as provided. in context
• RFC 7105 treats device-provided measurements as potentially falsified, describing lying-by-proxy and environment-spoofing threats and requiring HELD over TLS for measurement data. in context
• RFC 7105 defines an 802.11 WLAN measurement in which the access point BSSID is the only mandatory element, with optional signal measurements reported as RCPI. in context
• The commercial softphone pattern of reporting LLDP chassis/port and BSSID to a cloud location service mirrors the device-provided measurement model of RFC 7105 rather than the IP-only identification of base HELD. inferred in context
