Chapter 7 Wireless LAN

124

The following table describes the priorities that you can apply to traffic that the ZyXEL device 
sends to the wireless network.

The commonly used services and port numbers are shown in the following table. Please refer 
to RFC 1700 for further information about port numbers. Next to the name of the service, two 
fields appear in brackets. The first field indicates the IP protocol type (TCP, UDP, or ICMP). 
The second field indicates the IP port number that defines the service. (Note that there may be 
more than one IP protocol type. For example, look at the DNS service. (UDP/TCP:53) means 
UDP port 53 and TCP port 53. 

Table 40   WMM QoS Priorities

Highest

Typically used for voice traffic or video that is especially sensitive to jitter 

(variations in delay). Use the highest priority to reduce latency for improved voice 

quality.

High

Typically used for video traffic which has some tolerance for jitter but needs to be 

prioritized over other data traffic.

Mid 

Typically used for traffic from applications or devices that lack QoS capabilities. 

Use mid priority for traffic that is less sensitive to latency, but is affected by long 

delays, such as Internet surfing.

Low

This is typically used for non-critical “background” traffic such as bulk transfers 

and print jobs that are allowed but that should not affect other applications and 

users. Use low priority for applications that do not have strict latency and 

throughput requirements.
