Security profiles on FortiAP devices can use FortiGate subscription to inspect the traffic, such as antivirus, web filtering, application control, and IPS. This feature is called local bridging and it allows the FortiAP to forward traffic to the FortiGate for security inspection before sending it to the destination network. This reduces the bandwidth consumption and latency of tunnel mode SSIDs. References: Secure Wireless LAN Course Description, page 9; [FortiOS 6.4.0 Handbook - Wireless Controller], page 46.
