The SpectraLink 8000 SVP Server is an Ethernet LAN device that
works with access points (APs) to provide QoS on the wireless LAN.
Voice packets to and from the SpectraLink 8000 Wireless Telephones
are intercepted by the SVP Server and encapsulated for prioritization
as they are routed to and from an IP telephony server.
SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP) is the SpectraLink quality of service
(QoS) mechanism that is implemented in the wireless telephone and
AP to enhance voice quality over the wireless network. SVP gives
preference to voice packets over data packets on the wireless medium,
increasing the probability that all voice packets are transmitted
efficiently and with minimum delay. SVP is fully compatible with
IEEE 802.11b standards.
SpectraLink 8000 Wireless Telephones support basic WMM (Wi-Fi
Multimedia) if also supported by the AP as part of the 802.11e
protocol. If the AP supports WMM, the wireless telephone
automatically discovers and uses it. WMM does not replace the SVP
Server.
