Wi-Fi Multimedia Traffic Management

Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a Wi-Fi Alliance specification based on the IEEE 802.11e wireless Quality of Service

WMM supports the following access categories (ACs):

The following table shows the mapping of the WMM access categories to 802.1p priority values. The 802.1p
priority value is contained in a two-byte QoS control field in the WMM data frame.

In a non-WMM or hybrid environment, where some clients are not WMM-capable, you can configure an SSID
with higher values for best effort and voice ACs, to allocate a higher bandwidth to clients transmitting best
effort and voice traffic.
