6.3.1 WMM QoS
WMM (Wi-Fi MultiMedia) QoS (Quality of Service) ensures quality of service in wireless networks. It
controls WLAN transmission priority on packets to be transmitted over the wireless network.

WMM QoS prioritizes wireless traffic according to the delivery requirements of the individual and

applications. WMM QoS is a part of the IEEE 802.11e QoS enhancement to certified Wi-Fi wireless
networks.
On APs without WMM QoS, all traffic streams are given the same access priority to the wireless
network. If the introduction of another traffic stream creates a data transmission demand that
exceeds the current network capacity, then the new traffic stream reduces the throughput of the
other traffic streams.
network. If the introduction of another traffic stream creates a data transmission demand that

other traffic streams.
The NWA uses WMM QoS to prioritize traffic streams according to the IEEE 802.1q or DSCP
information in each packet’s header. The NWA automatically determines the priority to use for an

Select the Quality of Service priority for this BSS’s traffic.
•
If you select WMM from the QoS list, the priority of a data packet depends on the
packet’s IEEE 802.1q or DSCP header. If a packet has no WMM value assigned to
it, it is assigned the default priority.
•
If you select WMM_VOICE, WMM_VIDEO, WMM_BEST_EFFORT or
WMM_BACKGROUND, the NWA applies that QoS setting to all of that SSID’s
traffic.
•
If you select None, the NWA applies no priority to traffic on this SSID.
Note: When you configure an SSID profile’s QoS settings, the NWA applies the same
QoS setting to all of the profile’s traffic.

Enable Traffic Shaping Bursty traffic may cause network congestion. Traffic shaping regulates packets to be
transmitted with a pre-configured data transmission rate using buffers (or queues).
Incoming Traffic Limit
Specify the maximum transmission rate (in kbps) allowed for incoming traffic.
Outgoing Traffic Limit: Specify the maximum transmission rate (in kbps) allowed for outgoing traffic.
