Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a message forwarding method, an Access Point, and a system. An Access Point obtains a forwarding configuration table, where the forwarding configuration table includes message types and forwarding modes; receives a message sent by a user station and obtains a message type of the message; determines the forwarding mode of the message according to the message type of the message and the forwarding configuration table; encapsulates and forwards the message according to the forwarding mode of the message. Through the present disclosure, forwarding control of messages of wireless users can be implemented on the Access Point, thereby avoiding the problem that wireless air interface control is separated from user access control on an AP controller (AC) in the local forwarding mode and the problem of waste of bandwidth between the AP and the AC in the tunnel forwarding mode.
