Abstract
While conventional wisdom has it that wireless Access Points are strictly Layer 2 bridges, such devices today perform some higher functions that are performed by routers or switches in wired networks in addition to bridging between wired and wireless networks. For example, in 802.11 networks, Access Points can function as Network Access Servers. For this reason, Access Points have IP addresses and can function as IP devices.
