The RTS/CTS will be directed to the BSSID or the client - but that's not the most important thing.

What's important is who (meaning client or AP) HEARS it. Any device in the BSA who hears it must follow the rules - if it is following the rules.

By CCI, I assume you mean Interference, and not CCA - Clear Channel Assessment.

Different devices may perform CCA differently.

Protection is another issue. Search on "Protection Ripple" on this website - one of the latest CWNP book CD's has it too.

Do you have a spectrum or protocol analyser?

Remember ESSID is the same as SSID for Extended Service Sets (you won't find ESSID mentioned in the 802.11 spec.)

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
