Namespace inet::ieee80211

Ieee80211AuthenticationFrame

class

Authentication frame body format.

Note: the "isLast" field is not part of the standard. The authentication procedure is simulated by this model by exchanging a number of "dummy" authentication frames without real contents; the "isLast" field gets set by the AP to signal the STA that the authentication procedure has completed and it does not need to send any more Authentication frames.
