Abstract
A wireless station of a wireless network generates a single layer-2 frame containing multiple layer-3 packets in its payload. Each of the multiple layer-3 packets is destined to a corresponding different destination. The wireless station transmits the layer-2 frame to an access point (AP) of the wireless network. The AP receives the layer-2 frame, disassembles the payload into individual layer-3 packets, and transmits each of the individual layer-3 packets separately towards the corresponding destinations. In an embodiment, the wireless network is according to IEEE 802.11 standards, each layer-3 packet is an IP packet, and the layer-2 frame is a MAC frame.
