

InternetGroupManagementProtocol(IGMP)SnoopingallowstheESTeemHorizontooperatemoreefficientlyinnetworkswith

highMulticast(UDP,etc.)traffic.IGMPSnoopingwilldefinethedestinationfortheMulticasttrafficandsendthedatatothe

correctwirelessEthernetmodem,nottheentirenetwork.ThislimitingofMulticasttraffictospecificdestinationsgreatlyincreases

theoverallnetworkefficiency.



TheproblemwithusingmulticasttrafficoverawirelessconnectionisthatmulticastpacketsdonotrequireanAcknowledgeon



TheoryofOperation



TherearetwotypesofEthernetpacketsonanetwork,unicastandmulticast.Unicastisintendedforexactlyonerecipient(and

ignoredbyallothers).Multicastisintendedtobereceivedbymultiplerecipients.Interestedpartiescanlistenforparticular

multicastpackets,butmostnodesignoreit.Inanycase,thenetworkmediumisstillutilizednomatterhowmanynodesare

listening.Broadcastpacketsareaspecialtypeofmulticasttrafficwhichallnodesalwaysreceive.Theseareparticularlyusefulfor

globalannouncements(Hey,I'mAlice!)andqueries(Hey,I'mAliceandI'mlookingforBob!).Morerelevantly,itishowhostson

anetworkfindouteachother'saddresses,andareabsolutelycrucialtotheproperfunctioningofanetwork.



Asthenetworkgrowsphysically,itencounterssomegrowingpains.Thefirstismorephysical,relatingtothecablinglimitations.

Bridgessolvethisproblembyjoiningtwophysicalnetworkstogethersotheyappeartobeasinglelargenetwork.Throughuseof

bridges,anetworkcanscaletohundredsoreventhousandsofhosts.Thereisadownside,however.Wellbeforethephysical

limitationsofbridginghit,youstarttorunintoefficiencyproblems,asalltraffichastotraveleverywhereonthenetwork.Theraw

carryingcapacityofthissharedmedium,oftenreferredtoasbandwidth,isthesecondscalingproblem.



Smartbridges,orswitches,helpalleviatethebandwidthproblembyonlypassingtrafficacrossthebridgeifthedestinationhost

wasontheotherside.Thisgreatlyincreasesthecapacityandefficiencyofthenetworkbyallowingtwopairsofhosts

communicatingsimultaneouslyoneachsideoftheswitchedbridge.Onlywhenthepacketneedstogototheothersideisboth

mediumsutilizedsimultaneouslyforthesamepacket.



Unfortunately,broadcastandmulticasttrafficbyitsverynaturemustalwaysberelayedacrossthebridge.Whilethenumberof

networknodesmaygrowlinearly,themulticasttraffictendstogrowexponentially.Thisisn'tgenerallyaproblemforwired

networks,astheyhaveaconsiderableamountofbandwidthtospare,butwirelessnetworkshave,atbest,anorderofmagnitude

lessbandwidthtobeginwith.Ifawirelessnetworkisbridgedwithawirednetwork,whiletheabsolutenumbersarethesame,a

muchhigherproportionofthewirelessnetwork’savailablebandwidthisusedupbymulticasttraffic.Thiseffectisfurther

magnifiedifmultiplewirelessrepeatersareinuse.



Thepreferredwayofdealingwithexcessmulticasttrafficistoputthewirelessnetworkonadifferentsub‐network(subnet)and

usearoutertojoinittothewirednetwork.Thisensuresthatonlyunicasttrafficintendedforthewirelessnetworkcrossesover,

Use of the AA204Eg.1, directional antenna is limited to

fixed point to point applications only. In accordance FCC

Section 15.247(b)iii, this antenna must be professionally

installed. The installer must ensure the system is used

exclusively for fixed, point-to-point applications and the

securitynotbeingenabled.



2. SettheACLfiltertoincludeonlythoseMACaddressofthewirelessEthernetdevicebeingusedonthenetwork.



3. Makesurethekeysarenotreusedinyourcompany,sincereuseincreasesthestatisticallikelihoodthatsomeonecanfigure

thekeyoutandchangethedefaultpasswordonyouraccesspointorwirelessrouter



4. Asanetworkadministrator,youshouldperiodicallysurveyyourcompanyusingatoollikeNetStumblertoseeifany"rogue"

accesspointspopupwithinyourcompanywithoutauthorization.Allofyourhardworkto"harden"yourwirelessnetwork

couldbewastedifarogueAPwaspluggedintoyournetworkbehindthefirewall.



5. ManyaccesspointsallowyoutocontrolaccessbasedontheMACaddressoftheNICattemptingtoassociatewithit.Ifthe

MACaddressofyourNICisn'tinthetableoftheaccesspoint,youwon'tassociatewithit.Andwhileit'struethatthereare

waysofspoofingaMACaddressthat'sbeensniffedoutoftheair,ittakesanadditionallevelofsophisticationtospoofaMAC

address.ThedownsideofdeployingMACaddresstablesisthatifyouhavealotofaccesspoints,maintainingthetablesin

eachaccesspointcouldbetimeconsuming.Somehigher‐end,enterprise‐levelaccesspointshavemechanismsforupdating

thesetablesacrossmultipleaccesspointsofthesamebrand.



6. Considerusinganadditionallevelofauthentication,suchasRemoteAccessDailinUserService(RADIUS),beforeyoupermit

anassociationwithyouraccesspointsthroughWPAandWPA2Enterprise.



7. Ifyou'redeployingawirelessrouter,thinkaboutassigningstaticIPaddressesforyourwirelessNICsandturnoffDynamic

HostConfigurationProtocol(DHCP).Ifyou'reusingawirelessrouterandhavedecidedtoturnoffDHCP,alsoconsider

changingtheIPsubnet.Manywirelessroutersdefaulttothe192.168.1.0networkanduse192.168.1.1asthedefaultrouter.



8. OnlypurchaseAccessPointsthathaveflashablefirmware.Thereareanumberofsecurityenhancementsthatarebeing

developed,andyouwanttobesurethatyoucanupgradeyouraccesspoint.
