WMM:
The default is
Disable.
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a Quality of Service (QoS) feature that
prioritizes wireless data packets based on four access categories: voice, video, best effort, and
background. Applications without WMM and applications that do not require QoS are assigned to the
best-effort category, which receives a lower priority than that of voice and video. Therefore, WMM
decides which data streams are more important and assigns them a higher traffic priority. This option
works with WMM-capable clients only.
<To receive the benefits of WMM QoS>
▬
The application must support WMM.
▬
WMM shall be enabled on the Access Point.
▬
WMM shall be enabled in the wireless adapter on client
’s computer.
IGMP Snooping:
When IGMP snooping is enabled, IGMP packets are transferred via the Access
Point
’s network interface and the IP multicast host. Registration information is recorded and sorted
into multicast groups
.
The internal switch can then intelligently forward traffic only to those ports that
request multicast traffic. Adversely, without IGMP snooping, multicast traffic is treated like broadcast
traffic, with packets forwarded to all ports causing network inefficiencies.
