===Interworking===
Interworking is the occurrence of two or more things working together. For devices to work successfully together information must be supplied from one to other. In order to supply more information between access points and client devices than in basic beacons and probe requests, in 2011 new protocol was made: IEEE Std 802.11u™-2011: Interworking with External Networks. With Interworking service network discovery and access point selection process can be enhanced. Client devices can have more criteria upon which to choose the network with which to associate.

Hotspot 2.0 relies tightly on interworking as well as ads some of its own properties and procedures.
Interworking profiles are implemented according to IEEE 802.11u and Hotspot 2.0 Release 1 specifications.
===Implementation===
In RouterOS implementation of Interworking and Hotspot 2.0 stick very closely to the technical specification.

Summary

Interworking

Interworking is the occurrence of two or more things working together. For a better Wireless network experience information about the network must be exchanged between Access Points and Wireless client devices, the information that can be found in basic Wireless beacons and probe requests is limited. For this reason, the IEEE 802.11u™-2011 (Interworking with External Networks) standard was created, that specifies how devices should exchange information between each other. Network discovery and Access Point selection process can be enhanced with the interworking service. Wireless client devices can have more criteria upon which they can choose the network with which to associate.

Hotspot 2.0

Hotspot 2.0 is a specification developed and owned by the Wi-Fi Alliance. It was designed to enable a more cellular-like experience when connecting to Wi-Fi networks. In the attempt to increase Wireless network security Hotspot 2.0 access points use mandatory WPA2 authentication. Hotspot 2.0 relies on Interworking as well as adds some of its own properties and procedures.


Interworking profiles are implemented according to IEEE 802.11u and Hotspot 2.0 Release 1 specifications.

Configuration Properties

Sub-menu: /interface wireless interworking-profiles

Information elements in beacon and probe response

Some information can be added to beacon and probe response packets with a Interworking element. Following parameters of a Interworking element can be configured:

Property Description
asra (yes | no; Default: no) Additional Steps Required for Access. Set to yes, if a user should take additional steps to access the internet, like the walled garden.
esr (yes | no; Default: no) Emergency services reachable (ESR). Set to yes in order to indicate that emergency services are reachable through the access point.
hessid (MAC address; Default: ) Homogenous extended service set identifier (HESSID). Devices that provide access to same external networks are in one homogenous extended service set. This service set can be identified by HESSID that is the same on all access points in this set. 6-byte value of HESSID is represented as MAC address. It should be globally unique, therefore it is advised to use one of the MAC address of access point in the service set.
internet (yes | no; Default: yes) Whether the internet is available through this connection or not. This information is included in the Interworking element.
network-type (emergency-only | personal-device | private | private-with-guest | public-chargeable | public-free | test | wildcard; Default: wildcard) Information about network access type.
  • emergency-only - a network dedicated and limited to accessing emergency services;
  • personal-device - a network of personal devices. An example of this type of network is a camera that is attached to a printer, thereby forming a network for the purpose of printing pictures;
  • private - network for users with user accounts. Usually used in enterprises for employees, not guests;
  • private-with-guest - same as private, but guest accounts are available;
  • public-chargeable - a network that is available to anyone willing to pay. For example, a subscription to Hotspot 2.0 service or in-room internet access in a hotel;
  • public-free - network is available to anyone without any fee. For example, municipal network in city or airport Hotspot;
  • test - network used for testing and experimental uses. Not used in production;
  • wildcard - is used on Wireless clients. Sending probe request with a wildcard as network type value will make all Interworking Access Points respond despite their actual network-type setting.
A client sends a probe request frame with network-type set to value it is interested in. It will receive replies only from access points with the same value (except the case of wildcard).
uesa (yes | no; Default: no) Unauthenticated emergency service accessible (UESA).
  • no - indicates that no unauthenticated emergency services are reachable through this Access Point;
  • yes - indicates that higher layer unauthenticated emergency services are reachable through this Access Point.
venue (venue; Default: unspecified) Specify the venue in which the Access Point is located. Choose the value from available ones. Some examples: 
venue=business-bank
venue=mercantile-shopping-mall
venue=educational-university-or-college

ANQP elements

Access network query protocol (ANQP). Not all necessary information is included in probe response and beacon frames. For client device to get more information before choosing access point to associate with ANQP is used. The Access Point can have stored information in multiple ANQP elements. Client device will use ANQP to query only for the information it is interested in. This reduces the time needed before association.

Property Description
3gpp-raw (octet string in hex; Default: ) Cellular network advertisement information - country and network codes. This helps Hotspot 2.0 clients in the selection of an Access Point to access 3GPP network. Please see 3GPP TS 24.302. (Annex H) for a format of this field. This value is sent ANQP response if queried.
3gpp-info (number/number; Default: ) Cellular network advertisement information - country and network codes. This helps Hotspot 2.0 clients in the selection of an Access Point to access 3GPP network. Written as "mcc/mnc". Usage is identical to "3gpp-raw", but without using hex. Multiple mcc/mnc pairs can be defined, by separating them with a comma.
authentication-types (dns-redirection:url | https-redirection:url | online-enrollment:url | terms-and-conditions:url; Default: ) This property is only effective when asra is set to yes. Value of url is optional and not needed if dns-redirection or online-enrollment is selected. To set the value of url to empty string use double quotes. For example: 
authentication-types=online-enrollment:""
connection-capabilities (number:number:closed|open|unknown; Default: ) This option allows to provide information about the allowed IP protocols and ports. This information can be provided in ANQP response. The first number represents the IP protocol number, the second number represents a port number.
  • closed - set if protocol and port combination is not allowed;
  • open - set if protocol and port combination is allowed;
  • unknown - set if protocol and port combination is either open or closed.

Example: 

connection-capabilities=6:80:open,17:5060:closed

Setting such a value on an Access Point informs the Wireless client, which is connecting to the Access Point, that HTTP (6 - TCP, 80 - HTTP) is allowed and VoIP (17 - UDP; 5060 - VoIP) is not allowed.

This property does not restrict or allow usage of these protocols and ports, it only gives information to station device which is connecting to Access Point.
domain-names (list of strings; Default: ) None or more fully qualified domain names (FQDN) that indicate the entity operating the Hotspot. A station that is connecting to the Access Point can request this AQNP property and check if there is a suffix match with any of the domain names it has credentials to.
ipv4-availability (double-nated | not-available | port-restricted | port-restricted-double-nated | port-restricted-single-nated | public | single-nated | unknown; Default: not-available) Information about what IPv4 address and access are available.
  • not-available - Address type not available;
  • public - public IPv4 address available;
