An 802.11 networking framework in which devices communicate with each other by first going through an

communicate with a wired network. When one AP is connected to wired network and a set of wireless 
stations it is referred to as a Basic Service Set (BSS). An Extended Service Set (ESS) is a set of two or more 
BSSs that form a single subnetwork. Most corporate wireless LANs operate in infrastructure mode because 
they require access to the wired LAN in order to use services such as file servers or printers. 

ICMP is an extension to the Internet Protocol (IP) that supports packets containing error, control, and
