Transparent traffic prioritization

Transparent packets prioritization is supported in InfiNet Wireless units’ network. Administrator can put streams into different channels based on flexible rules as well as "tos" and "dscp" fields. Each channel can be assigned a priority. There are 17 priority levels, including priorities for voice, video, other real time traffic, network control traffic and so on.  Once assigned, a priority will be automatically recognized by every node inside the radio network. So you don’t need to adjust QoS on every device in you radio network.

 Automatic traffic prioritization

QM manager allows automatic prioritization management of data flows in the device. Automatic prioritization does all Quality-of-Service configurations for you according to the packets properties and QoS labels. So the original packets QoS priorities is mapping on the internal InfiNet Wireless QM manager priorities.  One can enable/disable automatic prioritization of voice packets, packet labeled with IEEE 802.1p priority, packets labeled with TOS.

Automatic prioritization may be performed with two policies.

"Strict Priority" policy is when packets from queue with lower priority are not processed before queue with higher priority is not empty.

"Weighted Fair Queuing" policy is when even if higher priority queue is not empty packets from other queues will be processed in a distinct sequence relative to a higher priority queue. For example, 4 package from queue with priority 1 - 1 package from the queue with priority 2, 8 packages from queue priority 1 - 1 package from the queue with priority 3.

For example, the unit is configured automatically prioritize packets labeled with IEEE 802.1p priority. The node receives a packet labeled with IEEE 802.1p priority, "6 VO Voice". The node will assign him appropriate InfiNet Wireless internal priority and in accordance with the priorities scheme, this package will be processed before packets with lower priorities.
