Internet Protocol Definitions
AP = Access Point
An access point is a device that
connects wireless devices together
to create a wireless network. An AP
usually connects to a wired network,
and can relay data between wireless
and wired devices. APs operate
on a selected channel (1 to 11) and
broadcast their name (SSID) to allow
connection by wireless devices.
Ad-hoc wireless network
A wireless network between two
wireless capable devices (normally
PCs), where no wireless access point is
involved.
ARP = Address Resolution Protocol
Used to determine Ethernet (MAC)
address when a device starts to
communicate with another. The host
wishing to obtain a physical address
broadcasts an ARP request and the
device responds with its MAC address
so further communication can be
specifically addressed between the two.
