DTIM interval
DTIM stands for Delivery Traffic Indication
Message. A DTIM is a countdown field
informing clients of the next window for
listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
When the access point has buffered broadcast
or multicast message for associated clients, it
sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval
value. Access Point clients hear and awaken
to receive the broadcast and multicast
messages.
