802.11b Access Point in Independent Mode
The Access Point maintains a table of MAC addresses, which it has learned are located
either on the Ethernet network or on the radio network by monitoring the source address
of packets it receives. For example, if the Access Point receives a packet over its radio, it
creates an entry in its table for the node that sent the packet and labels the entry as a
member of the radio network. The Access Point removes an entry from the table after
five minutes of inactivity.
