IAPP
The Inter Access Point Protocol (IAPP) is an IEEE standard (802.11f) that defines
communication between the access points in a “distribution system”. This includes
the exchange of information about mobile stations and the maintenance of bridge
forwarding tables, plus securing the communications between access points.
IBSS
An independent basic service set (IBSS) is an Ad hoc Mode Wireless Networking
Framework in which stations communicate directly with each other.
IEEE
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is an international
standards body that develops and establishes industry standards for a broad range of
technologies, including the 802 family of networking and wireless standards. (See
802, 802.1x, 802.11, 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11e, 802.11f, 802.11g, and 802.11h.)

Infrastructure Mode
Infrastructure Mode is a Wireless Networking Framework in which wireless
stations communicate with each other by first going through an Access Point. In
this mode, the wireless stations can communicate with each other or can
communicate with hosts on a wired network. The access point is connected to a
wired network and supports a set of wireless stations.
An infrastructure mode framework can be provided by a single access point (BSS)
or a number of access points (ESS).
Intrusion Detection
The Intrusion Detection System (IDS) inspects all inbound network activity and
reports suspicious patterns that may indicate a network or system attack from
