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 Wireless Router (AP).
Intra-BSS traffi c is traffi c between wireless stations in the BSS. When Intra-BSS is enabled,
wireless station A and B can access the wired network and communicate with each other.
