Abstract
The easiest and most logical way to look at an 802.11 b frame as it relates to an AirDrop is to send a frame from the SNOOPER laptop and capture that frame with both the Netasyst Sniffer and the MPLAB ICD 2. The size of the ARP frame is identical to that of a standard wired Ethernet LAN frame. This is because 802.11 b frames use protocol encapsulation just like the wired Ethernet frames do. In a basic service set (BSS), data frames must use the 802.11 b distribution system to get from Point A to Point B. The SNAP header tells a router to look for packet protocol information in the Protocol identification field. When the AP resends the frame, the BSSID in the address fields represents the transmitting address. The physical source and destination stations remain true to form. Each frame that enters the AirDrop-P data memory area has its header information arranged in the Ethernet Header Layout code.
