Quality of Service (QoS)) prioritizes and optimizes the forwarding of different types of traffic through a network. You can use classifier maps to map traffic to Extreme Networks QoS classes by service type, specific MAC OUIs, individual SSIDs, and priority numbers in various standard QoS cassification system (802.1p/DiffServ/802.11e). The device prioritizes, processes, and forwards the incoming traffic as determined by the QoS level to which it is mapped. For outgoing traffic, devices use marker maps.
For more information about QoS in general, see About QoS
When a device applies a classifier map, it checks to see if an incoming packet matches a setting in the map by checking for matches in the following order. It then uses the first match it finds.
1. Services
2. MAC OUIs
3. SSIDs
4. 802.1p/DiffServ/802.11e
To map a traffic category to a QoS class, select the specified map and then define the traffic settings as described in Configure Classifier Map Services.
