CONFIGURING QUALITY OF

 

 

SERVICE

 

 

This chapter describes the Quality of Service (QoS) features supported in

 

 

MSS and how to configure and manage them.

 

 

 

About QoS

 

MSS supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 classification and marking of traffic,

 

 

and optimized forwarding of wireless traffic for time-sensitive

 

 

applications such as voice and video.

 

Summary of QoS QoS features are configured in radio profiles and service profiles.
