Detailed Description

Basic MAC of mesh point Wi-Fi interface.

Its function is extendable through plugins mechanism.

Now only three output queues are used:

  • beacons (PIFS and no backoff),
  • background traffic,
  • management and priority traffic.

Initialize() implementation.

This method is called only once by Initialize(). If the user calls Initialize() multiple times, DoInitialize() is called only the first time.

Subclasses are expected to override this method and chain up to their parent's implementation once they are done. It is safe to call GetObject() and AggregateObject() from within this method.

fromthe address from which the packet should be sent.

The packet should be enqueued in a tx queue, and should be dequeued as soon as the channel access function determines that access is granted to this MAC. The extra parameter "from" allows this device to operate in a bridged mode, forwarding received frames without altering the source address.
