Q.
What is Ad Hoc mode ?
The 802.11 standard supports two network topologies. Ad Hoc
and Infrastructure mode. A standalone Ad Hoc network topology
consists of at least two wireless stations without using access
points.
This is often referred to as Peer-to-Peer network because
t can be constructed quickly without much planning overhead.
Ad Hoc mode LANs are normally less expensive because they
do not require a dedicated computer to store applications
and data. However, they do not perform well for large networks. |
