IMPORTANT

VGbe is only supported when the Fluidmesh 1200 VOLO is

configured as a Mesh End or Mesh Point unit. If the unit is

switched to Bridge mode, VGbe will be disabled.

A representation of the scenarios in which VGbe is active are shown

in Figure 1 (page 16) below:

Figure 1. Virtual Gigabit implementation scenarios

In the figure above, all data traffic is sent to and from the primary Ethernet

port by default.

If multiple traffic streams (in other words, more than one destination MAC

address) are detected, the unit monitors the aggregate throughput of the

traffic streams. If aggregate throughput exceeds a detected 85 Mbps, one

or more of the traffic streams are 'moved' onto the secondary Ethernet

port, allowing the unit's Ethernet throughput capacity to exceed 100 Mbps

(under optimal wireless link conditions).

3.2.3. Point-to-point wireless bridge

A point-to-point wireless bridge allows two local networks to communicate

with each other. A simplified example is shown in Figure 2 (page 17).

In context of the overall network architecture, the two local networks are

called network segments.
