Section 5.4, we will alter the test description slightly in that the two APs will have different
SSIDs. Now we turn our attention to the global roam.
5.4 Dissection of a Global Roam
5.4.1 Test-Bed Description for Global Roam
We begin by explaining the framework of our test bed. In Figure 5.9, we showed the simple
topology that we use for our first global roaming tests, wherein the wired Ethernet infra-
structure connects the Internet gateway router and the two access points. For our global
roaming tests, the APs we use are the Linksys 802.11G wireless router model WRT54G. The
two APs advertise SSIDs roamtest
1 and roamtest 2, respectively.
