Chapter 19. Centralized (Cisco 5500 Wireless LAN Controller) QoS Design

The subject of designing a wireless network to support voice and video using a Cisco centralized WLAN controller (WLC) can be relatively complex. For example, beyond the fundamentals of adding quality of service (QoS) to the WLAN, there is the question of the appropriate radio frequency (RF) requirements needed to support acceptable data rates and to reduce interference. There is also the necessity of enabling high-speed roaming between access points (APs) that must be met so that voice and video calls are not severely interrupted or even dropped when endpoints move around. Furthermore, there is the question of how to properly secure the real-time applications on the network. ...
