Queue mapping

The table below shows the mapping of different types of traffic to hardware queues. The Hardware
MAC consists of 10 Queues starting from 0 to 9. Highest priority Queue is 9 and typically used for
beacons. Next highest priority is 8 and is associated with beacon gated frames. The remaining 8
queues are used for different types of traffic classes. Excel only uses queues 0-3 and 9.
