Spelling: IBSS
Independent Basic Service Set (sometimes incorrectly called AdHocMode
[1]). Does not require an AccessPoint [2] to route packets through
(which is called BSS [3] mode).
If you run in IBSS mode then you should make sure that RTS/CTS is
configured with a threshold of 200 bytes. Otherwise you risk problems
when you encounter the 'hidden node' problem. RTS/CTS solves this
problem, but most cards don't have it enabled by default. If you do
not enable then you may have severe performance issues when multiple
nodes are connected together over longer distance links.
