    The Avaya Voice Priority Processor is an Ethernet LAN device that works with access points (APs) to provide QoS on the wireless LAN. Voice packets to and from the Avaya Wireless IP Telephones are intercepted by the Avaya Voice Priority Processor and encapsulated for prioritization as they are routed to and from an IP telephony server.
  • Page 11: Multiple Avaya Voice Priority Processor Capacities

    AVPP Server Availability An Avaya handset registers to a single AVPP Server the first time it is powered on. Once the handset has contacted this Registration Server, it obtains a list of all AVPP Servers in the system. The handset then maintains this list in non-volatile memory and updates only when rebooted.
