Infrastructure Mode
Infrastructure mode is a networking framework where devices communicate
with each other by first going through an access point or wireless router/gateway.
Infrastructure mode lets wireless devices communicate with each other or with a
wired network. With this type of network, and a router connected to the internet,
online games can be played, with participants in the same room and/or across the
internet.
Two types of service can exist while in infrastructure mode:
Basic Service Set (BSS) - An access point connected to a wired network and a
set of wireless stations.
Extended Service Set (ESS) - A set of two or more basic service sets forming a
single subnetwork.
