All four statements accurately describe the characteristics and trade-offs of wireless traffic forwarding modes in a Huawei fabric network.
Tunnel Forwarding: All wireless traffic is encapsulated and sent to a central Wireless Access Controller (WAC). This centralizes traffic, enabling unified policy enforcement and management (A). However, this creates a traffic detour, concentrating the forwarding load on the WAC and potentially creating a performance bottleneck (C).
Direct Forwarding: Wireless traffic is forwarded directly from the Access Point (AP) to the wired network. This avoids the WAC bottleneck and encapsulation overhead, resulting in higher forwarding efficiency (B). However, when a user roams between APs connected to different edge switches, their network entry point changes, which can necessitate re-authentication and IP address reallocation, thus degrading the roaming experience (D).
