4.Select the QoS Mappings button to revise the existing mappings of access category to 802.1p and DSCP to access category settings.

With a drastic increase in bandwidth absorbing network traffic (VOIP, multimedia etc.), the importance of data prioritization is critical to effective network management.

Refer to the following fields within the QoS Mapping screen to optionally revise the existing settings to in respect to the data traffic requirements for this WLAN.

Access Category to	Optionally revise the 802.1p Prioritization as required for each access category to better
802.1p	prioritize the network traffic expected on this WLAN.
802.1p to Access	Set the access category accordingly in respect to its importance for this WLAN’s target
Category	network traffic.
DSCP to Access	Set the access category accordingly in respect to its DSCP importance for this WLAN’s target
Category	network traffic.
	Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a field in an IP packet that enables different
	levels of service to be assigned to network traffic. This is achieved by marking each packet
	on the network with a DSCP code and appropriating to it the corresponding level of service
	or priority. QoS enabled programs request a specific service type for a traffic flow through
	the generic QoS (GQoS) application programming interface (API).
