wireless networks. There are two flavors of WPA: enterprise and personal. Enterprise is meant for use with an IEEE 802.1X
authentication server, which distributes different keys to each user. Personal WPA utilizes less scalable 'pre-shared key'
(PSK) mode, where every allowed computer is given the same passphrase. In PSK mode, security depends on the
strength and secrecy of the passphrase. The design of WPA is based on a Draft 3 of the IEEE 802.11i standard (Wikipedia)

preferential treatment of higher priority frames when traffic builds up within a queue. A frame's DP level is used as input to
WRED. A higher DP level assigned to a frame results in a higher probability that the frame is dropped during times of
congestion.
