FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -An ad hoc network works in peer-to-peer mode without an access point. The wireless NICs in each host communicate directly with one another. An ad hoc network: Uses a physical mesh topology with a logical bus topology.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ad-Hoc Node (Mesh) Some wireless devices (laptops, smart phones, or wireless routers) support a mode called Ad-Hoc. This allows those devices to connect together directly, without an Access Point in-between controlling the connection.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wi-Fi Peer to Peer (P2P), commercially known as Wi-Fi Direct, is a recent industry standard that allows user devices to communicate with each other without requiring a Wi-Fi access point or Internet connectivity.

Detailed explanation-4: -A peer-to-peer (P2P) network allows wireless devices to directly communicate with each other. Wireless devices within range of each other can discover and communicate directly, without involving central access points.

Detailed explanation-5: -802.11 wireless clients connect to an access point in managed mode (also called client mode). Once connected, clients communicate with the access point only; they cannot directly communicate with other clients. Master mode (also called infrastructure mode) is the mode used by wireless access points.
