Example 1: wireless Infrastructure Mode
Ad hoc mode (also called peer-to-peer mode or an Independent Basic Service Set, or IBSS) is simply a set of
802.11 wireless stations that communicate directly with one another without using an access point or any
connection to a wired network. This mode is useful for quickly and easily setting up a wireless network anywhere
that a wireless infrastructure does not exist or is not required for services, such as a hotel room, convention
center, or airport, or where access to the wired network is barred (such as for consultants at a client site).
