Hello all,

I was wondering if in the 802.11 MAC (of actual products), a station 
receiving an RTS frame did both a physical carrier sense and a virtual 
carrier sense (i.e. checking the NAV) before sending back a CTS frame.

The specs seem to suggest that only the NAV needs to be checked.

Thanks.
