Contradicting Text Following taxonomy text comes to a different conclusion: The commonalities and differences between Local MAC and Split MAC are most clearly seen by comparing Figure 7 and Figure 10. The commonality between the two is that 802.11 control frames are terminated at WTPs in both cases. The main difference between Local MAC and Split MAC is that in the latter the WTP terminates only the 802.11 control frames, while in the former the WTP may terminate all 802.11 frames. An interesting consequence of this difference is that the Integration Service, which essentially refers to bridging between 802.11 and 802.3 frames, is implemented by the AC in the Split MAC, but can be part of either the AC or WTP in the Local MAC. |
