Explanation

The IEEE 802.11r protocol, also known as Fast BSS Transition (FT), is designed to support real- time applications by enabling faster roaming between APs. This protocol reduces the number of packets exchanged during the reauthentication process when a client moves from one AP to another, thus ensuring a more seamless transition and maintaining the quality of service required by real-time applications such as voice and video conferencing.
