QoS Traffic Shaping
Traffic shaping is selectable on the Configuration - QoS menu. It is a
rate-limiting mechanism by which the WiMAX scheduling engine
delays packets when necessary to limit the overall packet rate to a
certain maximum. Traffic shaping can be useful when the payload into
the WiMAX network is very “bursty” in nature and the high end of the
packet rate is greater than the capacity of the WiMAX link. By
selectively delaying packets, the bursts are smoothed out and the load is
held to a consistent maximum.
4.2 802.11 Wi-Fi Interface (Optional Feature)
802.11 Wi-Fi is an optional feature that can be purchased for ODUs and
Subscriber units. When available, the web interface presents an option
to configure Wi-Fi service, as shown below. The Wi-Fi interface can
operate in Station, Ad-Hoc, or Access Point mode. The Wi-Fi interface
can also be disabled by setting the mode to the Disabled mode, which
turns the module off to conserve power.
