Q: Does iphone support OKC for fast security roam?

I want to know how IOS device support wi-fi network roam, such as PMKID cache, OKC(Opportunistic Key Caching), 802.11k and 802.11r.

I found the article in https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202628 .  it says IOS devices support 802.11k,802.11r,  PMKID cache.  

This PMKID cache refer to which one?

1. standard PMKID cache ? (IEEE 802.11 standard.  Meaning if iphone already been on Access Point before in the same session before it will roam smooth back )

2. OKC(Opportunistic Key Caching)?

 

From my test, My iphone 5s(IOS 8.4) rarely send a PMKID in (re)Associate frame,  and I guess iphone don't support OCK.  it's that right?

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.4
