Pregunta

On 802.11 if I send a unicast frame, receiver will acknowledge by sending an ACK frame. But what about a broadcast frame? For example, A want to send a broadcast frame. A sends it to AP, AP acknowledges. Then AP broadcasts the frame. Does the AP listen for ACKs?

What about 802.3 Ethernet? Does Ethernet broadcasts ask for ACKs?

Thanks!

Solución

No, the AP will not listen for acks when it broadcasts your (broadcast) frame. And no, 802.3 Ethernet does not ack broadcasts either.

No. For broadcast data/frame AP won't expect and listen acks. In 802.3 Ethernet also it doesn't give ack for broadcast frame
