According to /etc/config/wireless configuration file documentation, "option 'isolate' '1'" isolates wireless clients from each other in case device is working in WAP mode. In other words 802.11a/b/g/n clients are not able to reach each other in the same collision domain. For example if I set "option 'isolate' '1'" then I'm not able to ping or arping a host in the same 802.11g network. This setting does not change any firewall rules according to "iptables -L". In addition, there is no ebtables installed. How is this technically achieved? Is this part of 802.11 standards? I haven't found an article which explains this. I guess this isolation is done on physical layer(802.11a/b/g/n)?
