when new beta? When wireless QoS?

RouterOS General
1

it is long time since last beta5 when the new beta will be released?

Also I would like to hear some official word about wireless QoS from MT.

wireless QoS ?? I don’t get it. You can do QoS on wireless interfaces even in 2.9.xx

3

802.11e or WMM is anough?

4

patience please, patience

5

what means patence?

are you going to put it into 3.x?

something more detailed is welcome.

6

some things where broken in Beta5

and QoS is already in RouterOS

patience is needed to wait for beta6

7

May you explain little bit further this statement, in what way wmm or 802.11e is alredy implemented in routeros?

Thanks

8

WMM is not implemented in the RouterOS yet.

9

are you planning to add it?

will it be in 3.0???

regards

10

please clarify the importance of WMM, have you done any tests that prove it to be necessary?

11

Yes, we are planning to add it in the v3.0.

12

it seems to be very important for the following reason:

  1. should be imporve teh latency of a wireless connection compared to non voip;
  2. on the same wireless connection should give more priority to voip traffic compared to non voip;
  3. great imporvment compared to csma/ca access
13

indeed these are the benefits

thumbs up, waiting for new feature to test :unamused:

At present we use traffic marking and queue trees to deliver reliable QoS however this does require knowing what throughput a wireless link is capable of or else queuing doesn’t kick in in time. This has a couple of disadvantages in that you always have to assume the link is capable of slightly less than it really is and it never takes into account fade from poor weather. As WMM is more a feature of the Atheros chipset and therefore done at a lower level is it safe to assume that WMM Priority 6,7 will always get serviced first regardless of bandwidth available on the link?

15

WMM is already implemented in RouterOS and is available in 3.0beta7

16

janisk, apparently you misunderstood phentry’s question. He was not asking for WMM support; I’m sure he knows it is already implemented in 3.0beta7.

He was asking a specific question about WMM’s benefits (especially vs. using queues to prioritize across a wireless link) and how it works. And, given what precious little I myself have managed to garner about WMM, his question seemed rather insightful and intelligently-phrased. I, too, would like to know the answer to this question.

phendry,NathanA I’m not sure you have read this article, but probably it would help for WMM basics,

I read that article a while back but it does not answer the question. Do you understand my question or should I rephrase? Interesting that Nathan understands what I’m questioning :wink:

19

I understand too.

Nstream and WMM are integrating?

Actually, to me from reading that article it does indeed sound like “the higher the priority number, the sooner it will be serviced” is a safe assumption to make.

It’s also quite neat that the WMM priority can be influenced by the ToS/DS(CP) field in the IP header. Way cool.
