One of the ways to optimize the performance of your wireless networks is
to prevent "redundant" traffic from being transmitted over the wireless
network. Redundant traffic may include:
•
Specific network protocols exchanged by networking devices such as
servers, that are not relevant to the wireless stations.
•
Broadcast and/or multicast messages exchanged by specific networking
devices such as servers that are not specifically addressed to the
wireless stations.
•
"Junk traffic" like for example error messages that are generated by
malfunctioning devices, or as the result of incorrect network
configurations that could have been avoided (for example closed
network loops).
Filtering redundant traffic will save the bandwidth of the wireless medium
for the wireless stations, optimizing throughput efficiency for these stations.
Optimizing wireless performance via the
following ways:
•
Protocol filtering to deny specific networking protocols from being
bridged to the wireless network interface (see
200)).
•
Filtering traffic exchanged between two specific stations that are
identified by their static MAC address (see
(page
202)).
•
Enabling the spanning tree mechanism to resolve the closed network
loops errors (see
