In this lab, we investigate the 802.11 wireless network protocol. A trace of captured 802.11 frames is provided to analyze. This trace was collected using AirPcap and Wireshark running on a computer in the home network of one of the authors, consisting of a Linksys 802.11g combined access point/router, with two wired PCs and one wireless host PC attached to the access point/router. In this trace file, frames captured on Channel 6 can be seen. The wireless host activities taken in the trace file are: The host is already associated with the 30 Munroe St AP when the trace begins. At t = 24.82, the host makes an HTTP request to http://gaia.cs.umass.edu/wireshark-labs/alice.txt. The IP address of gaia.cs.umass.edu is 128.119.245.12. At t = 32.82, the host makes an HTTP request to http://www.cs.umass.edu, whose IP address is 128.119.240.19. At t = 49.58, the host disconnects from the 30 Munroe St AP and attempts to connect to the linksys_ses_24086 AP. This is not an open access point, and so the host is eventually unable to connect to this AP. At t = 63.0, the host gives up trying to associate with the linksys_ses_24086 AP, and associates again with the 30 Munroe St access point.
