ProSAFE Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point with RFID Support, WNDAP380R
By enabling WMM, you allow Quality of Service (QoS) control for upstream traffic flowing
from a wireless client to the wireless access point and for downstream traffic flowing from the
wireless access point to a wireless client.
WMM defines the following four queues in decreasing order of priority:
•
Voice
. The highest priority queue with minimum delay, which makes it ideal for
applications like VoIP and streaming media.
•
Video
. The second highest priority queue with low delay is given to this queue. Video
applications are routed to this queue.
•
Best Effort
. The medium priority queue with medium delay is given to this queue. Most
standard IP applications use this queue.
•
Background
. Low priority queue with high throughput. Applications, such as FTP, that
are not time-sensitive but require high throughput can use this queue.
The WMM Powersave feature saves power for battery-powered equipment by increasing the
efficiency and flexibility of data transmission.
