Fast BSSTransition (802.11r Roaming)
802.11r is a roaming standard defined by IEEE. When enabled, 802.11r reduces roaming delay by pre-
authenticating clients with multiple target APs before a client roams to an AP. With 802.11r implementation,
clients pre-authenticate with multiple APs in a cluster.
