Traffic Class

Traffic class is a categorization of network traffic used to prioritize and manage data transmission across wireless and wired networks.

Traffic classes help ensure that critical applications—such as voice, video, and control traffic—receive the appropriate level of service and bandwidth allocation, especially in congested or high-density environments.

Key aspects of traffice class are:

  • Quality of Services (QoS)
  • Wi-Fi multimedia Access Configuration
  • DSCP and VLAN Tagging
  • Application Recongnition
  • Policy Configuration
  • Use in WLAN and Hotspot Profiles

In this section:

  1. Traffic Class Profiles
    Define rules for classifying and prioritizing network traffic based on parameters such as application type, protocol, or service requirements.
  2. Creating a Traffic Class Profile
    A traffic class allows you to classify traffic according to a set of criteria that you define, such as source and destination IP addresses.
  3. User Traffic Profiles
    User Traffic Profiles (UTP) are sets of policies applied to wireless clients based on user information returned by an authentication server. These profiles help manage and control network traffic by defining specific rules and actions for different types of traffic.
  4. Creating a User Traffic Profile
    Creating a User Traffic Profile involves defining rules and policies that classify, prioritize, and manage network traffic for different users or user groups.
