If broadcast/multicast relaying if disabled, these packets are sent only
to the local wired LAN and are not sent back to the wireless link.
When broadcast and or multicast relaying is enabled, the relevant
packets (broadcasts only, multicasts only or both broadcasts and
multicasts) originating from devices on the wireless link are
transmitted by the AU back to the wireless link devices, as well as to
the wired LAN.
Unicast Relaying Applicable only for AU. This parameter enables selecting whether the
unit performs unicast relaying. When the Unicast Relaying parameter
is enabled, unicast packets originating from devices on the wireless
link can be transmitted back to the wireless link devices. If disabled,
these packets are not sent to the wireless link even if they are
intended for devices on the wireless link. Disable the Unicast
Relaying parameter only if all unicast messages from the wireless link
are certain to be directed to the local wired LAN.
