30 | 30 | Ethernet frame receptions come from the Ethernet portal and are delivered to some subset of the wireless stations associated with the AP. If the received Ethernet frame is destined for a broadcast hardware address, the AP sends the frame with a broadcast receiver address (RA) such that all associated nodes can decode it. When the Ethernet frame is destined for a unicast address, the AP only forwards the packet if that address has been associated with the AP. If not, it will throw the packet away. |
