Spelling: SSID
SSID [1] stands for "Service Set IDentifier" (or sometimes "Service
Set IDentification").
An SSID [2] is sometimes also referred to as a "network identifier"
because it's a 32-character name attached to the header of packets set
over a WLAN [3] to identify exactly which WLAN [4] (or network) the
packet is associated with. This is especially important when there are
two different WLAN [5]s operating on the same channel [6].
For Melbourne Wireless nodes [7], Section 7 of the RFC [8] specifies
that the SSID [9] be set to "wireless.org.au".
