What is the diffrent between Beacon and DTIM?
Question: Can you please list the diffrence between Beacon and DTIM Answer: DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) When any single wireless client associated with an access point has 802.11 power-save mode enabled, the access point buffers all multicast frames and sends them only after the next DTIM beacon, which may be every one, two, or three beacons. The DTIM interval can be set in the access point configuration. 802.11 power-save modes is optionally set by the user on the wireless client device, generally via the wireless client configuration utility or user interface. The use of DTIM intervals was put in the 802.11 standard to allow sleeping stations implementing the power-save function to know when to wake up and receive multicast traffic (i.e. after every DTIM beacon) and to allow flexible configuration of the network (i.e. DTIM interval) that offers a trade-off between battery life and performance. If none of the 802.11 radios associated with the access point has power-save
