Basic Service Set Identification. The BSSID is the identifying name of an ad-hoc wireless network. BSSID is one type of SSID (the other being ESSID).
A Service Set is a group of devices associated with a wireless LAN
A Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name that identifies the service set (see above)
A Basic Service Set (BSS) is the grouping of an access point and all associated stations (wireless clients)
A BSSID is the identifier (name/description) that identifies the BSS
