In Cisco's Unified Wireless Solution, what is the split-MAC architecture?

A The split-MAC architecture uses MAC addresses to create a forward/filter table and break up collision domains.
B The split-MAC architecture allows the splitting of 802.11 protocol packets between the AP and the controller to allow processing by both devices.
C The split-MAC architecture uses MAC addresses on the wireless network and IP addresses on the wired network.
D The split-MAC architecture uses MAC addresses to create a forward/filter table and break up broadcast domains.

Correct Answer: The split-MAC architecture allows the splitting of 802.11 protocol packets between the AP and the controller to allow processing by both devices.

The split-MAC architecture allows the splitting of 802.11 protocol packets between the Cisco LWAPP-based AP, which handles real-time portions of the protocol, and the WLAN controller, which handles those items that are not time sensitive.
