[Madwifi-users] can two nodes in an managed network communicate directly?

[Louis-David M. <vi...@ap...>]

Hello,

See subject: I was wonder about that while setting up a video streaming
server on my madwifi-equipped laptop.

Here is the wifi lan network topology:

AP-(DWL-2100)-----------VideoServer-----------Client

Ideally the video Client would get the stream directly from the
VideoServer, as it is closer in distance. Also the distance between
Client and AP is at the edge of the AP's range for the bandwidth
necessary for video.

So the basic question is: in a Managed network, must all packets go
through the AP or can two nodes communicate directly?

Thanks,
