Netgear DUALBAND WLAN WNDAP360 N300 AP WNDAP360-PES User Manual

When you configure the EDCA settings, the wireless access point can leverage existing 
information in the IP packet header that is related to the Type 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.
