Although it is possible to encode nearly all callsigns in the 6 byte source MAC address field for an 802.11 radio to satisfy the identification requirement for part 97 operation, callsigns can be more than 6 bytes long. Sending a broadcast UDP packet to port 73 with the station identification information will suffice in this case. | Although it is possible to encode nearly all callsigns in the 6 byte source MAC address field for an 802.11 radio to satisfy the identification requirement for part 97 operation, callsigns can be more than 6 bytes long.

802.11s is a draft amendment to the existing 802.11 standards documents to support mesh networking between WLAN nodes. It supports unicast and multicast routing, and RF-aware dynamic routing using a new dynamic routing protocol dubbed Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol (HWMP). | 802.11s is a draft amendment to the existing 802.11 standards documents to support mesh networking between WLAN nodes.
