MAC_address_of_destination_host (6 bytes): This field specifies the MAC address of the particular 802.11 station that is associated with another AP.

MAC_address_of_next_hop_access_point (6 bytes): This field MUST be one of the BSSID addresses that are listed in the AP Association Table through which the AP can reach the destination host. The implementer is free to choose any such BSSID address.

If the size of the actual Repeater AP Table exceeds 256 entries, the responder MUST make only 256 entries available in this property. It is up to the implementer to choose which host and AP pairs are made available in that case.
