Table 55. QoS Settings
Field | Description |
Max. Burst Length | AP EDCA Parameter Only (The Max. Burst Length applies only to |
| traffic flowing from the access point to the client station.) |
| This value specifies (in milliseconds) the Maximum Burst Length |
| allowed for packet bursts on the wireless network. A packet burst is a |
| collection of multiple frames transmitted without header information. |
| The decreased overhead results in higher throughput and better |
| performance. |
| Valid values for maximum burst length are 0.0 through 999.9.. |
|
|
WMM Mode | |
| enabled, QoS prioritization and coordination of wireless medium access |
| is on. With WMM enabled, QoS settings on the |
| System control downstream traffic flowing from the access point to |
| client station (AP EDCA parameters) and the upstream traffic flowing |
| from the station to the access point (station EDCA parameters). |
| Disabling WMM deactivates QoS control of station EDCA parameters |
| on upstream traffic flowing from the station to the access point |
| With WMM disabled, you can still set some parameters on the |
| downstream traffic flowing from the access point to the client station |
| (AP EDCA parameters). |
| To disable WMM extensions, click Disabled. |
| To enable WMM extensions, click Enabled. |

|
Queue | Queues are defined for different types of data transmitted from station- |
| |
| Data 0 (Voice) |
| Highest priority queue, minimum delay. |
| VoIP and streaming media are automatically sent to this queue. |
| Data 1(Video) |
| Highest priority queue, minimum delay. |
| automatically sent to this queue. |
| Data 2 (best effort) |
| Medium priority queue, medium throughput and delay. Most traditional |
| IP data is sent to this queue. |
| Data 3 (Background) |
| Lowest priority queue, high throughput. Bulk data that requires |
| maximum throughput and is not |
| (FTP data, for example). |

AIFS | The Arbitration |
