SpectraLink 8000 SVP Server 
Overview 
The SpectraLink 8000 SVP Server is an Ethernet LAN device that 
works with access points (APs) to provide QoS on the wireless LAN. 
Voice packets to and from the SpectraLink 8000 Wireless Telephones 
are intercepted by the SVP Server and encapsulated for prioritization 
as they are routed to and from an IP telephony server. 
SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP) and  
Quality of Service 
SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP) is the SpectraLink quality of service 
(QoS) mechanism that is implemented in the wireless telephone and 
AP to enhance voice quality over the wireless network. SVP gives 
preference to voice packets over data packets on the wireless medium, 
increasing the probability that all voice packets are transmitted 
efficiently and with minimum delay. SVP is fully compatible with 
IEEE 802.11b standards.  
SpectraLink 8000 Wireless Telephones support basic WMM (Wi-Fi 
Multimedia) if also supported by the AP as part of the 802.11e 
protocol. If the AP supports WMM, the wireless telephone 
automatically discovers and uses it. WMM does not replace the SVP 
Server.
