Introduction
ProCurve Wireless Edge Services xl Module
different (as the shared wireless medium is different from the switched
Ethernet medium), the goal is the same: higher throughput for high priority
traffic, as well as lower latency for time-sensitive traffic.
The Wireless Edge Services xl Module can implement WMM on both down-
stream and upstream wireless traffic. To do the first, it sends settings for
priority queues as part of a radio’s configuration. To do the second, it config-
ures RPs to send priority queue settings to wireless stations in a particular
WLAN.
By default, WMM is enabled on downstream traffic. That is, RPs automatically
prioritize traffic from the Ethernet network to the wireless network.
You must enable WMM on a WLAN if you want wireless stations to prioritize
upstream wireless traffic. By default, devices prioritize traffic according to
802.1p priority. However, you can configure them to use DiffServ values
instead.
Figure 1-9 illustrates how the Wireless Edge Services xl Module can configure
RPs and wireless stations to prioritize mission critical and VoWLAN traffic.

Port Configuration for more information on configuring these settings.
