Wireless Auto-QoS

Information About Auto QoS

Wireless Auto QoS automates deployment of wireless QoS features. It has a set of predefined profiles which can be further modified by the customer to prioritize different traffic flows. Auto-QoS matches traffic and assigns each matched packet to qos-groups. This allows the output policy map to put specific qos-groups into specific queues, including into the priority queue.
