WMM is enabled by default on new BSSs (refer to Section
3.3.4.7).
Wireless packets can convey QoS priority tags directly in their
802.11 headers. When no VLAN tags are present, the Bridge
sorts wireless traffic into QoS priority queues according to
these tags. If a wireless packet also contains a VLAN tag, the
Bridge applies the user-priority tag conveyed in the VLAN tag,
rather than in the 802.11 header.
On ES210 Bridges in
Station Mode (refer to Section 3.3.5),
WMM is also enabled by default on new
STA Interfaces (as
described in Section 3.3.5.5).
Priority Tag-to-Queue Mapping
By default, 802.1p user-priority values are mapped to priority
queues according to IEEE standard 802.1D, MAC Bridges,
Annex G:
Critical - packets are delivered ahead of all other QoS levels.
WMM categorizes this level of service as Voice. The IEEE
specification recommends
Critical QoS for traffic tagged with
802.1p user-priority values 6 and 7.
High - packets are delivered after Critical and ahead of lower
QoS levels. WMM categorizes this level of service as Video.
IEEE recommends
High QoS for traffic tagged with user-priority
values 4 and 5.
Medium - is Best Effort delivery: packets are delivered after
higher QoS levels, but ahead of
Low priority traffic. IEEE
recommends
Medium QoS for traffic tagged with user-priority
values 0 (zero) and 3 and for untagged traffic.
Low - is for Background traffic: packets are delivered after all
other QoS levels. IEEE recommends
Low QoS for traffic
tagged with user-priority values 1 and 2.
Packets received with no priority information and not subject to
an Ethernet-port QoS override are sorted into the
Medium QoS
priority queue.
You can disable QoS on the Bridge by assigning all eight
802.1p tags to the same priority level.
You can configure Ethernet Quality of Service only in Advanced
