Abstract
A method and system for providing connections from a wireless access point. The wireless access point has multiple connections to remote endpoints. The access point detects a wireless-network identifier (such as a service set identifier (SSID)) provided by a terminal via an air interface, and the access point uses the wireless-network identifier as a basis to select one of the connections over which to send traffic from the terminal.
