• Ad-Hoc Network
An ad-hoc network is the designation for a number of computers
which form an independent wireless 802.11 WLAN together with a
wireless adapter. Ad-hoc networks work independently and with-
out access point on a peer-to-peer basis. The ad-hoc mode is also
referred to as IBSS mode (Independent Basic Service Set) and can
be sensibly used in small-scale networks, for instance if two
notebooks are to be networked without access point.
