12.3  QoS
Network traffic can be classified by setting the ToS (Type Of Service) values at the 
data source (for example, at the WiMAX Modem) so a server can decide the best 
method of delivery, that is the least cost, fastest route and so on.
Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) allows a physical network to be partitioned into 
multiple logical networks. Only stations within the same group can communicate 
with each other. 
Your WiMAX Modem can add IEEE 802.1Q VLAN ID tags to voice frames that it 
sends to the network. This allows the WiMAX Modem to communicate with a SIP 
server that is a member of the same VLAN group. Some ISPs use the VLAN tag to 
identify voice traffic and give it priority over other traffic.
Click VOICE > Service Configuration > QoS to set up and maintain ToS and 
VLAN settings for the WiMAX Modem. QoS (Quality of Service) refers to both a 
network's ability to deliver data with minimum delay and the networking methods 
used to provide bandwidth for real-time multimedia applications.
