Passpoint certification program. It
specifies additional information above and beyond that found in 802.11u, which
allows mobile clients to automatically discover, select, and connect to networks
based on preferences and network optimization. Mobile clients that support

Hotspot 2.0 messages forward several types of information to clients, including:
 Uplink and Downlink Speeds

can be used by a specification of protocol and port numbers.
