The Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) is the platform for wireless mesh planning, configuration, 
and management. It provides the tools to allow network managers to design, control, and monitor 
wireless mesh networks from a central location.

With the Cisco WCS, network administrators have a solution for RF prediction, policy provisioning, 
network optimization, troubleshooting, user tracking, security monitoring, and WLAN systems 
management. Graphical interfaces make wireless LAN deployment and operations simple and 
cost-effective. Detailed trending and analysis reports make Cisco WCS vital in supporting ongoing 
network operations.

In a wireless mesh deployment, there are multiple 1500 Mesh APs deployed as part of the same network. 
Mesh APs form parent, child, and neighbor relationships with each other to form the mesh and establish 
a LWAPP tunnel back to their specified primary WLC. Parent, child, and neighbor relationships are 
discussed further in 

MAPs use the Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol (AWPP) to determine the best path through other 1500 
Mesh APs to their WLC. The wireless links between the MAPs and RAP(s) form a wireless mesh that is 
used to carry traffic from WLAN clients (through LWAPP tunnels) to the WLC and also to carry bridge 
traffic between devices connected to the MAP Ethernet ports.

A wireless mesh can simultaneously carry two different traffic types:

WLAN client traffic through LWAPP tunnels

MAP bridge traffic

WLAN client traffic terminates on the WLC, but the bridge traffic terminates on the Ethernet ports of 
the MAPs of the wireless mesh.
