Should You Apply a Queue to the Wi-Fi | PRG 26

Many networks apply speed limits believing that this improves QoS by restricting less important devices (eg Guests) this will prioritise critical devices (eg Corporate network). While that might be the case on a full wired network, wireless networks work very differently. While many now acknowledge that wireless devices should not be queued but why should we not queue them?

Though this presentation will not have all the answers, Jono will attempt to present some measurements from wireless packets and show some of the impact caused to the wireless network which happens when applying queues to some users has on the whole wireless network. This presentation will definitely not answer every question but will give something for everyone to think about and hopefully help to explain why guest users should have faster wireless.
