Hi Gunner:

WLAN signals may cancel at a destination when they have a common source and travel multiple paths (multipath) to a common destination. Before transmitting a WLAN station senses the medium, defers to existing transmissions, and goes to great length to avoid beginning a transmission at the same time as any other station.

Given a fixed number of bridge segments, messages that have to cross three or more bridge segments rather than simply two bridge segments consume more bandwidth of the bridged system.

I hope this helps. Can you add your location to your forum profile? Thanks. /criss
