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.

The key aspects of traffic class are:

  • Quality of Services (QoS)
  • Wi-Fi multimedia Access Configuration
  • DSCP and VLAN Tagging
  • Application Recognition
  • 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.
