The wireless clients (or subscribers) that associate with a certain WL520 form the Basic Service Set (BSS) of a network
infrastructure. By default, wireless subscribers in the same BSS can communicate with each other. However, some
administrators (such as wireless public spaces) may wish to block traffic between wireless subscribers that are associated with
the same WL520 to prevent unauthorized communication and to conserve bandwidth. This feature enables you to prevent
wireless subscribers within a BSS from exchanging traffic.
Although this feature is generally enabled in public access environments, Enterprise LAN administrators use it to conserve
wireless bandwidth by limiting communication between wireless clients. For example, this feature prevents peer-to-peer file
sharing or gaming over the wireless network.
