Abstract
A wireless node of a wireless network maintains link information for a set of layer-2 addresses, each of the layer-2 addresses corresponding to a medium access control (MAC) address of a corresponding device that transmits packets on the wireless network. The link information indicates whether the corresponding device is in an uplink direction or a downlink direction with respect to the wireless node. The wireless node receives a layer-2 packet in one of the uplink direction and downlink directions, the layer-2 packet containing a layer-2 address specifying a destination system, with no layer-2 address in the layer-2 packet indicating that the packet is destined to the wireless node. The wireless node forwards the layer-2 packet to a next wireless device in one of the uplink direction and downlink direction.
