Hi all,
There is a lot of incorrect information about the 802.11 capabilities
going around on this list lately.
Normally 802.11 (all versions) uses 3 mac addresses instead of 4 to
conserve capacity. This is purely a legacy issue from way back when.
These addresses are used as follows.
- Station to AP:
- AP MAC address (BSSID)
- Station MAC address
- 802.1 destination MAC address
- (802.1 source address is copied from Station MAC field by the AP)
- AP to Station
- Station MAC address
- AP MAC address (BSSID)
- 802.1 source MAC address (SA)
- (802.1 dest address is copied from the Station MAC filed by the STA)
Do I understand you right in that when you write 802.1 destination
address, you are in fact talking about the 802.2 frame destination MAC
address?
If so, this makes sense, it would match what I seem to have observed.
