Diffserv 802 11e
Abstract- As the multimedia applications such as Voice over wireless LAN, which are based on DiffServ, IEEE
IP (VoIP) and Audio/Visual (AV) streaming across the 802.1D/Q, and IEEE 802.11e, respectively.
Internet emerge, many are working on the network
architecture to extend such applications to the wireless This paper explores DiffServ, 802.11e and 802.1D/Q
networking domain. The emerging IEEE 802.11e Quality-of- architectures in Sections III and IV. Section V presents
Service (QoS)-enabled Wireless LAN (WLAN) is considered two methodologies coordinating traffic QoS between

applications thanks to the IP-centric network paradigm 802.11e and 802.1D in Ethernet LAN interface, and
along with its inherent high-speed transmission capability.

investigates the correlations in end-to-end traffic From the overall network service perspective, QoS

I. INTRODUCTION coordinate QoS traffic control with transport level QoS at
the network interfaces.
As broadband Internet access becomes pervasive, many
multimedia applications such as VoIP, AOD and VOD
have been serviced via Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
In order to maintain a required performance for such Mobile Station Access Point Gateway IP router Server
applications, Internet network systems have been End-to-End User Bearer Services
