6.1 Wireless LAN Overview

This section introduces the wireless LAN (WLAN) and some basic scenarios.

6.1.1 BSS (Infrastructure)

A Basic Service Set (BSS), also called an Infrastructure network, exists when all
communications between wireless stations or between a wireless station and a wired network
client go through one access point (AP).
Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the BSS. When Intra-BSS is enabled,
wireless station A and B can access the wired network and communicate with each other.
When Intra-BSS is disabled, wireless station A and B can still access the wired network but
cannot communicate with each other.
