3.5.1 QoS > WMM
Wireless Multimedia Extensions (WME), also known as Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM)
is a Wi-Fi Alliance interpretability certification, based on the IEEE 802.11e draft
standard. It provides basic Quality of service (QoS) features to IEEE 802.11 networks.
WMM prioritizes traffic according to 4 AC (Access Categories), however it does not
provide guaranteed throughput. It is suitable for simple applications that require QoS,
such as Wi-Fi Voice over IP (VoIP) phone. Figure 8.1.1 illustrates the WME
configuration page.
