5.7. Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM)
time
According to the 802.11 standards, a Delivery Traffic Indication Map
(DTIM) period value is a number that determines how often a beacon
frame includes a Delivery Traffic Indication Message, and this number is
included in each beacon frame. The 802.11 standards define a power-
save mode for client devices. In power-save mode, a client device
may choose to sleep for one or more beacon intervals waking for
beacon frames that include DTIMs. When the DTIM period is 2, a client
device in power-save mode will awaken to receive every other
beacon frame. Upon entering power-save mode, a client device will
transmit a notification to the access point, so that the access point will
know how to handle unicast traffic destined for the client device.

Note:
- The higher the DTIM period, the longer a client device may
sleep and therefore the more power that particular client
device may potentially save.
