Chapter 1. QoS for Wireless Applications

Quality of service (QoS) for wireless applications is an important topic because it can lead, if misunderstood, to many structural mistakes in wireless networks deployments and poor quality when QoS-dependent devices (for example, VoIP phones) are added. Expect to be tested extensively on this topic on the IUWVN exam. Make sure to understand the concepts and their related configuration.
