802.11r Fast Transition (FT) defines two methods to facilitate quick and secure roaming between access points:
Over-the-Air (OTA): The client communicates directly with the target AP to perform the authentication exchange during roaming.

Over-the-DS (Distribution System): The client communicates with the current AP, which then relays the authentication information to the target AP over the wired network.
Both methods aim to reduce latency during the roaming process, ensuring seamless connectivity for applications sensitive to delays, such as VoIP.
