multicast address
A form of broadcast address through which copies of the frame are
delivered to a subset of all possible destinations that have a common
multicast address.
non-bridging secondary LAN
A secondary LAN that does not have a designated bridge. A non-
bridging secondary LAN is used to connect access points without using
wireless hops.
outbound frames
Frames moving away from the primary LAN.
peer-to-peer network
A type of LAN whose workstations are capable of being both clients and
servers.
point-to-point bridge
A wireless link that connects two wired Ethernet segments. Two access
points can be used to provide a point-to-point bridge between two
buildings so that wired and wireless devices in each building can
communicate with devices in the other building.
primary bridging
Ethernet bridging on a root port. An access point uses primary bridging
to bridge frames to and from the Ethernet network on its root port. Note
that primary bridging is not the same as bridging to the primary LAN.
primary LAN
The Ethernet LAN attached to the access point that is acting as the root.
The primary LAN is typically the LAN on which the servers are located.
Primary and secondary LANs are both distribution LANs.
QFSK (Quad Frequency Shift Key)
A broadcasting method that shortens the range but doubles the
throughput as compared to the BFSK method.
remote subnet
An Ethernet segment other than the primary LAN. A remote subnet is a
secondary LAN.
