With a normal Wi-Fi network, if one wireless device wants to talk another wireless device it has to go through the AP (Access Point).
In an infrastructure BSS, every device is connected to an AP.
In an IBSS (Independent BSS) network every device works as equal peer, with no need for an AP, because it's peer to peer, right?
Suppose I have three PC's: A, B, and C. A and B are in range of each other, and B and C are in range of each other, but A and C are not directly in range of each other. Can A talk to C via B in IBSS?
How can I set up an IBSS network?
How would it be set up on Windows or Linux?
