Yes they use CDP (cisco discovery protocol) and some additional
multicast-based communication amongst themselves. I recall reading
that this traffic helps client handoff but I don't have any
technical details on hand. My APs (340) show these groups in
the Associations menu:
-multicast- AWC Mcast AP-Only Unassigned 014096ffff00
-multicast- AWC Mcast All Unassigned 014096ffffff
-multicast- AWC Mcast BSS Unassigned 014096000000
Some Googling[tm] doesn't show up any protocol information, however.
