ns3::dot11s::PeerManagementProtocolMac Class Reference [IEEE 802.11s draft]

This is plugin to Mesh WiFi MAC, which implements interface to dot11s peer management protocol: it takes proper frames from MAC-layer, extracts peer link management information element and mesh configuration element and passes it to main part of protocol. More...
