Configuring Quality of Service (QoS)

Outgoing wireless traffic on the wireless link is assigned to a queue based on the selected priority mechanism. Traffic delivery is based on strict priority (per the WMM standard). Therefore, if excessive traffic is present on queues 1 or 2, it will reduce the flow of traffic on queues 3 and 4.

Regardless of the priority mechanism that is selected:

Traffic that cannot be classified by a priority mechanism is assigned to queue 3.

SVP (SpectraLink Voice Protocol) traffic is always assigned to queue 1, except if you select the Very-high, high, normal, or low priority mechanisms, in which case SVP traffic is assigned to the configured queue.

QoS settings in a station profile

QoS settings are defined in a station profile as follows:

Priority mechanisms

Priority mechanisms are used to classify traffic on a station profile and assign it to the appropriate queue.

The following mechanisms are available:

802.1p

This mechanism classifies traffic based on the value of the VLAN priority field present within the VLAN header.
