Dynamic packet classification enables multimedia traffic on WLANs

摘要

RETHINK YOUR QOS IMPLEMENTATION TO ENSURE THAT YOUR DESIGN CAN HANDLE WIRED AND WIRELESS CLIENTS. Network-switch designs have evolved to support multimedia traffic through QOS (quality-of-service) techniques. But WLANs (wireless LANs) fundamentally differ from wired Ethernet in a number of ways and particularly in that clients roam among access points. So, wired-. Ethernet QOS measures don't apply seamlessly to WLANs. A designer can rethink the QOS implementation, and particularly how to implement COS (class-of-service) queues to ensure that a switch handles wired and wireless clients equally well in the case of rich data streams.
