Abstract
A method includes receiving, at a first wireless bridge device, a first packet and determining whether the first packet is a first type or a second type. If the first packet is the first type, the first packet is duplicated to generate two duplicated packets. A first one of the duplicated packets is forwarded to a second wireless bridge device via a tunnel between the first wireless bridge device and the second wireless bridge device. A second one of the duplicated packets is forwarded to one or more access points via a first wireless link between the first wireless bridge device and the one or more access points. If the first packet is the second type, the first packet is forwarded to the second wireless bridge device via the tunnel or forwarding the first packet to the one or more access points via the first wireless link.
