TP-Link WiFi controllers concepts - working mode

Hi Fellows,
What I want to understand is the way the TP-Link controller-based wireless system handles the data plane: wether all user traffic between the AP and the controller is backhauled in some IP based (or other) tunnel to the controller and gets there in/out to/from the wired Ethernet, or wireless user traffic enters and exits directly at the access point wired connection to and from the wired Ethernet LAN? For your reference what I mean, the first is called CAP/WAP Tunnel mode and the second is called Flex-connect (formerly called H-REAP mode) mode at Cisco wireless solution.
Explanations are welcome.
Thanks, Jeno
