 When CTS (Clear-to-Send) Protection is on, a host must send the router an //RTS// (//Request-to-Send//) frame to get permission to transmit data frames. In return, the router must send back a //Clear-To-Send//  frame, indicating the client can send data. In this way, CTS Protection Mode determines the order in which clients contact the router. Typically, CTS frames aren't needed until the client has a data frame to send that meets a size threshold.
