The assigned AC of a packet stream depends on the packet’s priority, such as a priority assigned by an application (also referred to as a user priority (UP). An AC may include a common set of enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) parameters used by QoS to contend for a channel to transmit packets with certain priorities.
Ubee Interactive Using the Wi-Fi Multimedia Option Label Description WMM Support Enables (On) or disables (Off) WMM support. No-Acknowledgement Enables (On) or disables (Off) acknowledging data frames. In QoS mode, frames to send can have two values: QosAck and QosNoAck. Frames with QosNoAck are not acknowledged, avoiding the retransmission of highly time-critical data. Power Save Support Enables (On) or disables (Off) power savings.
Ubee Interactive Using the Bridging Option EDCA AP Parameters CWmin CWmax AIFSN TXOP (b) Limit (usec) TXOP (a/g) Limit (usec) Discard Oldest First 9.6 Allows you to prioritize wireless network traffic. Enhanced Distributed Channel Access – Access Point (EDCA-AP) provides four access categories (ACs): AC_BE – Best Effort, medium throughput and delay. Most traditional IP data is sent to this queue. AC_BK – Background, high throughput.
Ubee Interactive Deploying and Troubleshooting the Wireless Network Caution Avoid bridge loops when you enable bridging devices. Bridge loops cause broadcast traffic to circle the network endlessly. This can degrade throughput and disrupt communications. Steps To configure the modem as a bridge: 1. Click Wireless from the main menu. 2. Click Bridging from the left side menu. Field descriptions are listed below the screen example. Label 9.7 Description Wireless Bridging Enables or disables bridging.

11 Glossary This chapter defines terms used in this guide and in the industry. 54GTM The internal wireless adapter from Broadcom. ALG (Application-Level Gateway) A type of security device that acts on behalf of the application servers on a network, hiding the servers themselves from traffic that might be malicious. AP (Access Point) A device that allows wireless devices to connect to a wired network using WiFi, or related standards. Broadcast A packet sent to all devices on a network.
Ubee Interactive Glossary DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) A protocol that centrally automates the assignment of IP addresses in a network. Using the Internet’s set of protocols (TCP/IP), each machine that can connect to the Internet needs a unique IP address. For example, when the service provider sets up computer users with a connection to the Internet, an IP address is assigned to each machine.
Ubee Interactive Glossary Firewall A highly effective method to block unsolicited traffic from outside the connected computers in your gateway and local network. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) A network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another over a TCP-based network. Gateway A local device, usually a router, that connects hosts on a local network to other networks – sometimes with different incompatible communication protocols. The DDW365 is an example of a gateway.
Ubee Interactive Glossary IUC (Interval Usage Code) Interval usage codes define different profiles for upstream burst profiles to use for the data. IUCs are sent to the cable modem from the CMTS to tell the device important characteristics to use for the burst, such as modulation type, preamble length, and so on. Kerberos A network authentication protocol which works on the basis of “tickets” to allow nodes communicating over a non-secure network to prove their identity to one another in a secure manner.
Ubee Interactive Glossary Ranging A process in which a cable modem sends a range request at a power of 8 dBmV (very low power). If it does not receive a range response from the CMTS, the cable modem retransmits the range request at a 3 dB higher power level and continues the process until a range response is received. Router A device that forwards data between networks. An IP router forwards data based on IP source and destination addresses.
Ubee Interactive Glossary Subnet A portion of a network that shares a common address component. On TCP/IP networks, subnets are defined as all devices whose IP addresses have the same prefix. For example, all devices with IP addresses that start with 10.1.10 would be part of the same subnet. IP networks are divided using a subnet mask.
Ubee Interactive Glossary UPNP (Universal Plug and Play) A set of networking protocols that permits networked devices to seamlessly discover each other’s presence on the network to enable data sharing, communications, and entertainment. Upstream A term to describe the direction of data from the customer to the network service provider. URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) A string of characters used to identify a name or a resource on the Internet.
