When you configure the EDCA settings, the wireless access point can leverage existing
information in the IP packet header that is related to the Type of Service (ToS). The wireless
access point examines the ToS field in the headers of all packets that it processes. Based on
the value in a packet's ToS field, the wireless access point prioritizes the packet for
transmission by assigning it to one of the queues. A different type of data is associated with
each queue. You can configure how the wireless access point treats each queue.
The queues defined for different types of data transmitted from AP-to-station and
station-to-AP are:
• Data 0 (Best Effort). Medium priority queue, medium throughput and delay. Most
traditional IP data is sent to this queue.
• Data 1 (Background). Lowest priority queue, high throughput. Bulk data that requires
maximum throughput and is not time-sensitive is sent to this queue (FTP data, for
example).
• Data 2 (Video). Highest priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive video data is
automatically sent to this queue.
• Data 3 (Voice). Highest priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive data such as VoIP
and streaming media are automatically sent to this queue.
