Describe ad hoc mode as it pertains to wireless networking.

What will be an ideal response?


Ad hoc mode is sometimes called peer-to-peer mode, with each wireless node in direct contact with each other node in a decentralized free-for-all. Ad hoc mode does not use a wireless access point and instead uses a mesh topology. Ad hoc mode networks work well for small groups of computers (fewer than a dozen or so) that need to transfer files or share printers. Ad hoc networks are also good for temporary networks, such as study groups or business meetings. Hardly anyone uses ad hoc networks for day-to-day work, simply because an administrator cannot use an ad hoc network to connect to other networks unless one of the machines is running Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) or some equivalent.
