In the figure, the AP behaves as a standard bridge that forwards traffic between WDS links
(links that connect to other AP/wireless bridges) and an Ethernet port. As a standard bridge,
the AP learns MAC addresses of up to 64 wireless or 128 total wired and wireless network
devices, which are connected to their respective Ethernet ports to limit the amount of data to
be forwarded. Only data destined for stations which are known to reside on the peer Ethernet
link, multicast data or data with unknown destinations need to be forwarded to the peer AP via
the WDS link.
