QoS Policies Page

This page lets you configure the quality of service (QoS) on your access point.
With this feature, you can provide preferential treatment to certain traffic.
Without QoS, the access point offers best-effort service to each packet, regardless
of the packet contents or size. It sends the packets without any assurance of
reliability, delay bounds, or throughput.

Description
If you are entering a new policy, make sure <NEW> (the default) is selected in
the Create/Edit Policy menu. To edit an existing policy, select the policy name
from the Create/Edit Policy menu. The current choices are WMM or Spectralink,
and one of these need to be filled in the Policy Name field.
Enter a policy name to attach to an input or output interface. If you chose an
existing policy in the Create/Edit Policy field, the policy name is filled in
automatically.
Classification is the process of distinguishing one kind of traffic from another by
examining the fields in the packet. The eligible classifications for the specified
policy name are supplied. Specify the fields in the frame or packet you want to
use to classify incoming traffic.
