1. An apparatus, comprising:

  • a processor; and

    a non-transitory memory in operable communication with the processor, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to;

    receive a signal representing a priority characteristic of a first virtual local area network (VLAN) associated with a first wireless station;

    determine whether to AP-locally switch traffic from the first wireless station based on the priority characteristic, thereby determining a priority of the first VLAN as compared with a second VLAN;

    when the priority characteristic is a first value, switch the traffic locally to the second wireless station by forwarding the traffic to the second wireless station without forwarding the traffic to an intervening wireless station; and

    when the priority characteristic is a second value less than the first value, tunnel the traffic from the first wireless station upstream to the second wireless station.
