Abstract
A technique for utilizing an intermediate access point (IAP) with a wireless access point (WAP) that uses 3-address mode involves making use of a bridge table that includes media access control (MAC) addresses of stations registered with the IAP and internet protocol (IP) addresses of the stations stored in association with the corresponding MAC address. A bridging engine can obtain an IP address from a WAP IP frame and match the IP address to an IP address in the bridge table to find the corresponding MAC address. The bridging engine can encapsulate at least a portion of the WAP IP frame to create an IAP frame with the corresponding MAC address as the receiver address (RA).
