4 Configuring Data Plan
4.1 Overview
The data plane provides broadcast forwarding control functions, including broadcast forwarding weight control and broadcast
wireless forwarding control.
Broadcast forwarding weight control means restricting the weights of packet types for broadcast forwarding, so as to prevent
STAs from being influenced when a certain type of packets occupy all resources.
Broadcast wireless forwarding control means forwarding only necessary packets to the wireless network, so as to prevent
some useless broadcast packets from occupying substantial radio frequency (RF) resources.
Broadcast forwarding weight control is applicable to all packets to be flooded.
Broadcast wireless forwarding control is applicable to all packets to be sent to the radio interface.

4.3.1 Basic Concepts
Broadcast Forwarding Weight Control
A network switching device may need to flood broadcast packets, multicast packets, and some unicast packets. A weight can
be set for each type of packets to prevent a certain type of broadcast packets from exhausting all broadcast forwarding
capabilities, thereby improving STAs' network experience.
Broadcast Wireless Forwarding Control
The broadcast wireless forwarding control function is used to forward only necessary broadcast packets to the wireless
network, so as to prevent certain broadcast packets from occupying substantial air interface resources and improve the
network rates of STAs.
