WMM allows you to specify a range of priorities, depending on the type of data. Time-dependent information, such as video or audio, has a higher priority than normal traffic. For WMM to function correctly, wireless clients must also support WMM. By enabling WMM, you allow Quality of Service (QoS) control for upstream traffic flowing from a wireless station to the wireless access point and for downstream traffic flowing from the wireless access point to a wireless station. WMM defines the following four queues in decreasing order of priority: • Voice. The highest priority queue with minimum delay, which makes it ideal for applications like VoIP and streaming media. • Video. The second highest priority queue with low delay is given to this queue. Video applications are routed to this queue. • Best Effort. The medium priority queue with medium delay is given to this queue. Most standard IP applications use this queue.

By enabling WMM, you allow Quality of Service (QoS) control for upstream traffic flowing
from a wireless station to the wireless access point and for downstream traffic flowing from
the wireless access point to a wireless station.
