Re: [STDS-802-11-TGAK] TGak Telecon Minutes Posted



Donald,
In looking at the minutes, I noticed this entry:

"Comments: There is no such thing as a wireless AP-to-AP link in 802.11."

There was not much context to the minutes entry, so I thought I'd draw attention to the fact that there has been support for "wireless AP-to-AP links" in .11 for a long time.

Interested parties can look for "wireless distribution system" or "WDS".   The feature is widely available, for example it's a part of the dd-wrt firmware that is popular for many .11 APs.  Support in the standard for this dates back to the early .11 days - it was part of the design requirements for the "from DS" and "to DS" bits.
