Configure Advanced Quality of Service Settings

For most networks, the default Quality of Service (QoS) queue settings work well. For

information about how to configure basic QoS, see Configure Basic Wireless Quality of

Service on page 60.

You can specify the settings on multiple queues for increased throughput and better

performance of differentiated wireless traf

fic such as Voice over IP (VoIP), other types of

audio, video, and streaming media, as well as traditional IP data.

The advanced QoS options on the wireless access point are as follows:

• AP EDCA parameters. Specify the access point (AP) Enhanced Distributed Channel

Access (EDCA) settings for different types of data transmitted from the wireless access

point to wireless clients.

• Station EDCA parameters. Specify the station EDCA parameters for different types of

data transmitted from the wireless clients to the wireless access point. If WMM is

disabled, you cannot configure the Station EDCA parameters. (For information about how

to enable WMM, see

Configure Basic Wireless Quality of Service on page 60.)

When you configure the EDCA settings, the wireless access point can leverage existing

information in the IP packet header that is related to the T

ype of Service (ToS). The wireless

access point examines the ToS field in the headers of all packets that it processes. Based on

the value in a packet’s ToS field, the wireless access point prioritizes the packet for

transmission by assigning it to one of the queues. A different type of data is associated with

each queue. You can configure how the wireless access point treats each queue.

The queues defined for different types of data transmitted from AP-to-station and

station-to-AP are:

• Data 0 (Best Effort). Medium priority queue, medium throughput and delay

. Most

traditional IP data is sent to this queue.

• Data 1 (Background)

. Lowest priority queue, high throughput. Bulk data that requires

maximum throughput and is not time-sensitive is sent to this queue (FTP data, for

example).

• Data 2 (Video)

. Highest priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive video data is

automatically sent to this queue.

• Data 3 (Voice). Highest priority queue, minimum delay

. Time-sensitive data such as VoIP

and streaming media are automatically sent to this queue.

Max. Wireless Clients Enter the maximum number of wireless clients that can simultaneously

connect to the wireless access point at one time. The default setting is

128 clients.
