Abstract
In general, one embodiment of the invention relates to a method of operation where the type of an incoming Media Access Control (MAC) frame is initially determined. Based on such determination, the MAC frame is processed locally at an access point if the MAC frame is one of a first group of MAC frames. Otherwise, the MAC frame is processed remotely at a switch communicatively coupled to the access point.
