| | 3 | This application is an extension to the [wiki:802.11/wlan_exp/app_notes/dcf_with_multiple_flows Investigating Physical Carrier Sensing in the DCF with Multiple Traffic Flows] application note. Instead of a network of 1 AP and 2 STA nodes, this example shows how to run an experiment with 3 IBSS nodes. |

| | 5 | The standard AP/STA flavors of 802.11 have a fundamental limitation: The AP is capable of transmitting to any of its association stations, but the STA devices can ''only'' directly transmit to the AP. STA devices cannot directly communicate with other STA devices on the BSS without first hopping through the AP. |

| | 7 | IBSS devices are different. The "Independent Basic Service Set" allows for any device to communicate to any other device, allowing for more general mesh configurations. |
