Note
Practical Ethernet rates will depend on network configuration, higher layer protocols and
platforms used.
Over the air throughput will be capped to the rate of the Ethernet interface at the
receiving end of the link.
MANAGEMENT VLAN
Decide if the IP interface of the AP/SM management agent will be connected in a VLAN. If so,
decide if this is a standard (IEEE 802.1Q) VLAN or provider bridged (IEEE 802.1ad) VLAN, and select
the VLAN ID for this VLAN.
Use of a separate management VLAN is strongly recommended. Use of the management VLAN
helps to ensure that the AP/SM management agent cannot be accessed by customers.
QUALITY OF SERVICE FOR BRIDGED ETHERNET TRAFFIC
Decide how quality of service will be configured in ePMP to minimize frame loss and latency for
high priority traffic. Wireless links often have lower data capacity than wired links or network
equipment like switches and routers, and quality of service configuration is most critical at network
bottlenecks.
ePMP provides three priority types for traffic waiting for transmission over the wireless link –
Voice, High and Low. Low is the lowest priority and Voice is the highest priority. Traffic is
scheduled using strict priority; in other words, traffic in a given priority is transmitted when all
higher-priority transmissions are complete.
