On the 9800 IOS-XE controller platform, is there a way to enable broadcast suppression when larger client subnet ranges for wireless client associations such as larger /22 or /21 networks associated with specific WLAN's? I do see where there is a feature to enable proxy arp which seems to help reduce unnecessary broadcast traffic to improve overall wireless communications. I am curious if this is the only feature available on the 9800 platform to help reduce broadcast, and if anyone has implemented this and how the results were?

ARP proxy is the recommended best practice configuration.

Broadcast forwarding is generally disabled by default. More info and links at https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/broadcast-forwarding-wlc-9800/td-p/4167367
