Zusammenfassung:The invention provides a method for segregating traffic amongst a plurality of stations that are associated with an access point, comprising the steps of providing a protocol for virtual local area network (VLAN) discovery; allowing a station to create a new port that serves a new VLAN, or to join an existing VLAN; maintaining more than one logical port per physical port; and providing cryptographic VLAN separation, wherein traffic within one VLAN is separated from another VLAN on a same physical port by cryptography.
