3.12 QoS Traffic Control
What is Traffic Control QoS?
Traffic Control is a great tool to control the
bandwidth of the WISP subscribers. Therefore,
the WISP operators can offer different class of
connection speeds for different subscription fees -
just like the ADSL service! The AirLive advance
firmware can control the bandwidth by Interface or
IP/MAC.
What type of Traffic Bandwidth Control does the firmware offer?
The Traffic Bandwidth limits the “Maximum Data Rate”. There are 2 types of Traffic Control it offers.
Interface Control
The interface QoS controls the data rate at the WLAN
and LAN interfaces. Therefore, all traffics are
controlled the same way. This type of traffic control is
suitable when AP is used as a Client AP in “Client Mode”
and WISP mode. So WISP can control the maximum
data rate
Individual IP/MAC Control
The AP can set the maximum data rate for each
IP or MAC addresses. This type of traffic control
is most suitable for outdoor AP in “AP” or
“Gateway” mode.
What is the Output Rate?
The “Output Rate” is the data speed out of an interface. There are 3 types Output Rate supported by the AP
1.
LAN Output Rate: This is the speed of the traffic out of the LAN port. In gateway mode, the LAN
Output Rate includes both the wired LAN and WLAN interface.
2. WLAN Output Rate: This is the speed of the traffic out of the Wireless LAN
3. WAN Output Rate: This is the speed of the traffic out of the WAN port. In WISP mode, the WAN
Output Rate also includes the WLAN interface.
