AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), video streaming and interactive gaming are highly sensitive to
latency increases and throughput reductions. These forms of higher priority data traffic can
significantly benefit from the QoS implementation.The WiFi Multimedia QOS Extensions (WMM)
implementation used by the shortens the time between transmitting higher priority data traffic and
is thus desirable for multimedia applications. In addition, U-APSD (WMM Power Save) is also
supported.
WMM defines four access categories—voice, video, best effort and background—to prioritize traffic
for enhanced multimedia support.
