IEEE
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is an international standards
body that develops and establishes industry standards for a broad range of technologies,
including the 802 family of networking and wireless standards. (See 802, 802.1x, 802.11,
802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11e, 802.11f, 802.11g, and 802.11h.)

Infrastructure Mode
Infrastructure Mode is a
communicate with each other by first going through an
wireless stations can communicate with each other or can communicate with hosts on a
wired network. The access point is connected to a wired network and supports a set of
wireless stations.
An infrastructure mode framework can be provided by a single access point (BSS) or a
number of access points (ESS).
Intrusion Detection
The Intrusion Detection System (IDS) inspects all inbound network activity and reports
suspicious patterns that may indicate a network or system attack from someone attempting
to break into the system. It reports access attempts using unsupported or known insecure
protocols.
IP
The Internet Protocol (IP) specifies the format of packets, also called datagrams, and the
addressing scheme. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. It provides
packet routing, fragmentation and re-assembly. It is combined with higher-level protocols,
such as
