SSID Broadcast suppression features - can someone clarify it for me ?

I'm looking at the SSID configuration and I was wondering about Broadcast suppression - 

1.what are the thresholds ?

2.I undertand what ARP poison means (I am a CCIE after all), I understand ARP proxy.

yet I don't understand the following - 

ARP replies - does it block ARP reply which is in broadcast ? after all ARP reply is unicast.

ARPs for known clients ? does it block ARP reply from a known client ? does it block traffic intra SSID ?

 

DHCP downlink ? does my 40F can still work as DHCP server ?

DHCP unicast ? what does feature mean ?

DHCP uplink ? does it mean DHCP Snooping ? does it mean that the client can't request for DHCP ?

 

can anyone provide me recommendation and explanations ?

You can read more about this features and the descriptions in this section of the Configuration Guide. Basically these features should not prevent any normal activities in the network like DHCP or ARP, it will just try to limit the broadcast traffic and optimize WiFi network performance.
