A-MPDU subframe Subframe 1

MAC variable A-MPDU unverified

One delimiter, one MPDU, and padding to a four-octet boundary.

Reading a capture

The delimiter is what makes aggregation robust rather than brittle. A receiver that fails to decode one subframe can still find the start of the next, so a single corrupt frame costs one frame rather than the whole aggregate.
