Decrypt tunnel mode

    Hello all,

     

    A. What will be a scenario in which  using Decrypt Tunnel mode be beneficial ? Or to put in another way - is it not always better to use Tunnel mode on the access points ?

     

    B. In Aruba OS8 documentation it says, "Decrypt-tunnel mode allows an AP-client pair to take full advantage of Aggregated-Media Access Control (MAC) Service Data Units (A-MSDUs) and Aggregated-MAC Packet Data Units (A-MPDUs) without requiring the wired network to transport jumbo frames".  I didnt quite understand what this means ?

     

    Thanks in advance :)
