Abstract
A method and system for processing network traffic data units (NTDUs) is disclosed. The method includes establishing a virtual tunnel between a wireless access point (WAP) and a network device. A NTDU is received by the WAP from a client device, and the virtual tunnel is identified upon which to transmit the NTDU based on a header of the NTDU according to a policy. The policy maps a portion of the header to a plurality of available virtual tunnels. The NTDU is transmitted, via the virtual tunnel, to the network device.
