| - | To start with some terminology, the first term is that IEEE 802.11s mesh points or nodes are called stations, also known as **STA**s. | + | For consistency, |
| * **Mesh Point (MP)**: Mesh Points form the backbone of the mesh network by relaying data and participating in path selection. A mesh point is a basic station in the mesh network that is capable of establishing wireless mesh links with other MPs. MPs can relay frames to other MPs and participate in the mesh path selection protocol, thereby helping to create and maintain the mesh network topology. | * **Mesh Point (MP)**: Mesh Points form the backbone of the mesh network by relaying data and participating in path selection.

| * **Mesh Portal (MPP)**: A mesh portal is a specialized station that connects the mesh network to other types of networks, such as Ethernet or another 802.11 network. In OpenWrt, MPPs serve as gateways, allowing data to flow between the mesh network and external networks. This is crucial for providing Internet access or integrating the mesh network with other network infrastructures. | * **Mesh Portal (MPP)**: A mesh portal is a specialized station that connects the mesh network to other types of networks, such as Ethernet or another 802.11 network.
