4. Select the QoS Mappings button to revise the existing mappings of access category to 802.1p and DSCP
to access category settings.
With a drastic increase in bandwidth absorbing network traffic (VOIP, multimedia, etc.), the importance
of data prioritization is critical to effective network management.
Refer to the following fields within the QoS Mapping screen to optionally revise the existing settings
in respect to the data traffic requirements for this WLAN.
Access Category to
802.1p
Optionally revise the 802.1p Prioritization for each access category to prioritize
the network traffic expected on this WLAN.
802.1p to Access
Category
Set the access category accordingly in respect to its importance for this WLAN’s
target network traffic.
DSCP to Access
Category
Set the access category accordingly in respect to its DSCP importance for this
WLAN’s target network traffic.
Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a field in an IP packet that enables
different levels of service to be assigned to network traffic. This is achieved by
marking each packet on the network with a DSCP code and appropriating to it the
corresponding level of service or priority. QoS enabled programs request a specific
service type for a traffic flow through the generic QoS (GQoS) application
programming interface (API).
