How a Single Frame Gets Transmitted on the RF Medium

Since Wi-Fi is invisible, many think of it as Ethernet without the wires. In reality, there is a LOT of complexity in order for a single frame to be transmitted over the Radio Frequency medium. In this episode with special guest Keith Parsons, we'll discuss the various amounts of overhead and why this is useful in Wireless LAN communications.

Topics include:

- Single data frame exchange.

- The limitations of 802.11.

- The Wireless to Wired boundary.

- Real use cases.
