This chapter will discuss these features at a high level; to learn how to
configure them, see Chapter 4: Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs).
SVP
SVP maintains a high QoS in the wireless network, specifically for VoWLAN
devices that are SVP-capable. SVP is implemented in wireless phone handsets,
wireless APs, and SpectraLink servers. This IEEE 802.11-compliant mecha-
nism minimizes latency for voice traffic by providing priority queues reserved
for voice packets and by increasing the probability that all voice packets are
transmitted in a predictable and timely manner.
If your network includes a SpectraLink server and SVP-capable phones, you
should enable SVP in the WLAN that includes these phones. RPs then
recognize SVP-encapsulated frames and handle them accordingly.
