Abstract:
Wireless networks comprise base stations that each have communication ports. The wireless networks exchange media with user devices through the communication ports. The wireless networks are identified by Ethernet OUIs, and the base stations and ports are identified by unique codes. An Ethernet backhaul network exchanges the media in Ethernet frames between the communication ports. The Ethernet backhaul network routes the Ethernet frames based on MAC addresses that indicate a destination OUI, a destination base station code, a destination port code, a source OUI, a source base station code, and a source port code.
