CHAPTER 1. Access Point Controller System Overview
If user traffics are concentrated on a single centralized APC when there are many branches
or they are far from headquarter, performance may be deteriorated due to the time delay of
packet transmission, etc. Therefore, use different operation schemes according to the
location of W-EP wireless LAN AP in the configuration of headquarter and branches.
In other words, the local W-EP wireless LAN AP in a headquarter does traffic tunneling to
an APC and the branch AP installed in a branch switches a user traffic directly to a
destination address without tunneling to the APC. Even at this time, the APC in headquarter
manages all the W-EP wireless LAN APs and users.
