8.8 P RIORITISATION
WLAN 1
The prioritisation function integrated in the Access Point is used for differentiated
treatment of data flows between different interfaces. This way, it is possible to prioritise
packets or to limit the bandwidth for certain protocols.
Prioritisation is enabled by entering a maximum bit rate as well as at least one
prioritisation class. For instance, you'd have to enter a maximum bit rate of 50,000
Kbit/sec if the connected Ethernet infrastructure offers a maximum throughput of 50
Mbit/sec. The criteria for prioritisation classes cannot be combined in all variations. For
instance, selecting IP together with VLAN is excluded by the working principle.
Prioritisation on WLAN interfaces is using WMM functions. WMM prioritisation is enabled by
default and cannot be disabled. The IP Type of Service boxes and VLAN QoS tags are
distributed to 4 different Queues according to the WMM specification. If you want to
classify packets independent on the IP Type of Service or VLAN QoS tags, you can use the
prioritisation page for that. The Priority box is mapped to 4 WMM classes:
0,1 -> WMM Voice
2,3 -> WMM Video
4,5 -> WMM Best Effort
6,7 -> WMM Background
The Lend Bitrate and Dynamic Bitrate functions have been removed in order to simplify
operation. (The Lend Bitrate is now disabled by default.)
