The output of a scan request lists each BSS/IBSS network found.

-|`E`
-|Extended Service Set (ESS). Indicates that the station is part of an infrastructure network rather than an IBSS/ad-hoc network.

-|`P`
-|Privacy. Encryption is required for all data frames exchanged within the BSS using cryptographic means such as WEP, TKIP or AES-CCMP.
-
-|`S`
-|Short Preamble. Indicates that the network is using short preambles, defined in 802.11b High Rate/DSSS PHY, and utilizes a 56 bit sync field rather than the 128 bit field used in long preamble mode.
-
-|`s`
-|Short slot time. Indicates that the 802.11g network is using a short slot time because there are no legacy (802.11b) stations present.
