Proxy ARP allows the AP devices to keep track of the hardware address to
IP address mapping of the STA devices within the BSS. When a request for
such information is made (i.e., ARP request, Neighbor Solicitation), the
AP will respond on behalf of the STA device within the BSS. Such
requests could originate from a device within the BSS or also from the
bridge. In the process of the AP replying to the request (i.e., ARP
reply, Neighbor Advertisement), the AP will drop the original request
frame. The relevant STA will not even know that such information was
ever requested.
This feature is a requirement for Hotspot 2.0, and is defined in IEEE
Std 802.11-2012, 10.23.13. While the Proxy ARP support code mainly
resides in the kernel bridge code, in order to optimize the performance
and simplify kernel implementation, the DHCP snooping code was added to
the hostapd.

The new "bss_load_update_period" parameter can be used to configure
hostapd to advertise its BSS Load element in Beacon and Probe Response
frames. This parameter is in the units of BUs (Beacon Units).
When enabled, the STA Count and the Channel Utilization value will be
updated periodically in the BSS Load element. The AAC is set to 0 sinze
explicit admission control is not supported. Channel Utilization is
calculated based on the channel survey information from the driver and
as such, requires a driver that supports providing that information for
the current operating channel.

This was used to fill in the "PSMP support" subfield that was defined
during P802.11n development. However, this subfield was marked reserved
in the published IEEE Std 802.11n-2009 and it is not supported by
current drivers that use hostapd for SME either. As such, there is not
much point in maintaining this field as ht_capab parameter within
hostapd either.

The configuration file parsing routines were moved to a separate

Different channels allow different transmission power, at least in ETSI

In order to add Power Constraint element ieee80211d option need to be

unsigned value in units of decibels. For now this value is statically
configured but the future goal is to implement dynamic TPC algorithm

It is possible for the configuration to be temporarily invalid when
