6.1 Wireless LAN Overview
This section introduces the wireless LAN (WLAN) and some basic scenarios.
6.1.1 BSS
A Basic Service Set (BSS) 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 traffic
blocking is disabled, wireless station A and B can access the wired network and communicate
with each other. When Intra-BSS traffic blocking is enabled, wireless station A and B can still
access the wired network but cannot communicate with each other.
