Wmm Commands - 3Com 3CRWEASYA73 / WL-575 User Manual

WMM Commands

The access point implements QoS using the Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) standard.
Using WMM, the access point is able to prioritize traffic and optimize
performance when multiple applications compete for wireless network
bandwidth at the same time. WMM employs techniques that are a subset of the
developing IEEE 802.11e QoS standard and it enables the access point to
inter-operate with both WMM- enabled clients and other devices that may lack
any WMM functionality.
The WMM commands supported by the access point are listed below.
