| | AnandTech - HOWTO: Use Linksys WRT54G as a wireless ethernet bridge |
 | | All of the PCs on the local wired ethernet switch fabric would recieve the frame and discard it, as well as the AP, which wouldn't discard it, and would either answer with a DHCP reply if it was running a DHCP server, or forward the broadcast frame over the wireless link if so configured. |
 | | The third is WDS mode, which allows multiple wireless APs to talk to one another, and also bridge ethernet frames from any connected wired devices. |
 | | However, when IP packets arrive at that interface, the client AP bridges them individually to the proper device's wired ethernet ports, using that device's MAC address that is known only to the client AP, not to the remote "main" AP. |
