Glossary
Broadcast
A Broadcast sends the same message at the same time to everyone. In wireless networks,
broadcast usually refers to an interaction in which the access point sends data traffic in the
form of IEEE 802.1x Frames to all client stations on the network.
Some wireless security modes distinguish between how unicast, multicast, and broadcast
frames are encrypted or whether they are encrypted.
See also Unicast and Multicast.

BSS
A basic service set (BSS) is an Infrastructure Mode Wireless Networking Framework with a
single access
point. Also see extended service set (ESS) and independent basic service set (IBSS).
BSSID
In Infrastructure Mode, the Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) is the 48-bit MAC address of
the wireless interface of the Access Point.
CCMP
Counter mode/CBC-MAC Protocol (CCMP) is an encryption method for 802.11i that uses
AES. It employs a CCM mode of operation, combining the Cipher Block Chaining Counter
mode (CBC-CTR) and the Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code (CBC-MAC)
for encryption and message integrity.
AES-CCMP requires a hardware coprocessor to operate.
CGI
The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a standard for running external programs from an
HTTP server. It specifies how to pass arguments to the executing program as part of the
HTTP request. It may also define a set of environment variables.
A CGI program is a common way for an HTTP server to interact dynamically with users. For
example, an HTML page containing a form can use a CGI program to process the form data
after it is submitted.
Channel
The Channel defines the portion of the radio spectrum the radio uses for transmitting and
receiving. Each 802.11 standard offers a number of channels, dependent on how the spectrum
is licensed by national and transnational authorities such as the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC), the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), the Korean
Communications Commission, or the Telecom Engineering Center (TELEC).
