Intra BSS
The wireless clients (or subscribers) that associate with a certain AP form
the Basic Service Set (BSS) of a network infrastructure. By default,
wireless subscribers in the same BSS can communicate with each other.
However, some administrators (such as wireless public spaces) may wish
to block traffic between wireless subscribers that are associated with the
same AP to prevent unauthorized communication and to conserve
bandwidth. This feature enables you to prevent wireless subscribers
within a BSS from exchanging traffic.

limiting communication between wireless clients. For example, this

network.
