Abstract
In a first control mode employed when a wired communication line is used as the backhaul, a wireless access point operates as follows. (1) The access point processes its own control packets for management by itself. (2) The access point communicates packets in which an information item for processing in a controller or a control server is added to user traffic from a client connected to the access point. (3) The access point conducts proxy processing for a control packet for management of a second wireless access point connected to the wireless communication side of the access point. (4) The access point compresses a control packet for management sent from a system controller to the second wireless access point to thereby achieve a frame conversion and then sends the packet to the wireless communication side. This resultantly reduces the traffic on the backhaul wireless communication line.
