QoS roles on WLC, Per user or per conection?

[Raul Manzano Barroso]

Hi guys.

This morning I`m talking with my colleages about QoS roles on WLC and their behaviour, then a question has arisen me, because I know when I apply a QoS role or QoS profile it is a per-user role. Ok said my colleage, but What is the behaviour when several devices are using the same user with a QoS role applied?

Good question, I always assumed that this QoS role applies to every different connection managing it like a new user connection, that is, every new connection with the same user (if the QoS role is, for example, 256k for this user) will have a bandwitdh of 256k, but now I'm not sure if the WLC manages every connection at this way or divide the bandwitdh defined for that used into as many parts as connection have with this user ( for ten connections, for example, 25,6k).

Anyone can tell me how is the behaviour of the WLC in this scenario???

Thanks in advanced.

Best Regards.

IIRC, it is a per user/per-mac restriction.

HTH,

If you apply the values on QoS profile instead of User profile then it is applicable to users connected to that WLAN mapped QoS profile. This way total no. of users will divide the available bandwidth. However, user with p2p application might consume all available bandwidth.
