LinkIntegrityMonitoring
TheUAPprovideslinkintegritymonitoring tocontinuallyverifyitsconnectiontoeachassociatedclient.Todo
this,theAPsendsdatapacket stoclientseveryfewsecondswhennoothertrafficispassing.ThisallowstheAP
todetectwhenaclientgoesoutofrange,evenduringperiodswhen
nonormaltrafficisexchanged.Theclient
connectiondropsoffthelistwithin300secondsifthesedatapacketsarenotacknowledged,evenifno
disassociationmessageisreceived.
