Mapping Diffserv to IEEE 802.11
RFC 8325, “Mapping Diffserv to IEEE 802.11”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2018 by T. Szigeti, J. Henry, F. Baker. It has since been updated by RFC 8622, RFC 9956. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
As Internet traffic is increasingly sourced from and destined to wireless endpoints, it is crucial that Quality of Service (QoS) be aligned between wired and wireless networks; however, this is not always the case by default. This document specifies a set of mappings from Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) to IEEE 802.11 User Priority (UP) to reconcile the marking recommendations offered by the IETF and the IEEE so as to maintain consistent QoS treatment between wired and IEEE 802.11 wireless networks.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
