WMM vs QoS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
I've been tracking down some obscure wireless issues and noticed that
there doesn't seem to be a clean mapping between RFC4594 DSCP classes
and WMM queues.

Specifically, it appears that the highest priority defined for VOIP
traffic (EF), and which seems to be commonly used for voice, maps as
AC_VI (next-highest) rather than AC_VO (highest). Whereas I would've
naively expected AF41 to map as AC_VI and EF to map as AC_VO.

I might be misunderstanding something. However, if this is truly the
case, I'm wondering if there would be any adverse effects to modifying
mac80211 to cause EF packets to get translated into the AC_VO queue?
It seems like this way I might be able to have my cake and eat it too
rather than choosing between correct QoS on only one of L2 or L3.

Thanks.
