A beacon is broadcasted.

Action frames are only sent when done so by [[#SendToOtherGroup]].

Action frames are only sent when done so by [[#SendToOtherGroup]] (other than the Epigram one mentioned below).

Communication uses sockets with standard Data frames and the above Action frames. Switch consoles presumably only use the Action frames to communicate with each other?

~~There's no response to probe requests sent by a Linux machine when encryption is enabled. However, connecting works fine with encryption disabled: this~~ uses an AccessPoint ~~for the group owner~~, and ~~standard~~ DHCP is used, no custom authentication needed. Note that the probe response includes the same Nintendo tags included with the beacon. Once connected, the group-owner sends the same Epigram-vendor Action frame(s) described in [[#ldn]].

This uses infrastructure-mode (AccessPoint), and DHCP is used, no custom authentication needed. The group-owner is the AccessPoint. Note that the probe response includes the same Nintendo tags included with the beacon. Once connected, the group-owner sends the same Epigram-vendor Action frame(s) described in [[#ldn]].

The DHCP server thread is started by the "nn.lp2p.StateMachine" thread eventually during group [[#CreateGroup|creation]]. The DHCP Offer option values are the following, with ~~the~~ disabled~~-encryption mentioned above~~:

The DHCP server thread is started by the "nn.lp2p.StateMachine" thread eventually during group [[#CreateGroup|creation]]. The DHCP Offer option values are the following, at least when connecting with encryption disabled from a Linux machine:

* "Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0"

* "DHCP Server Identifier: {...}"
