With this feature, an AP keeps track of all BSSIDs active on a radio, all clients connected to the BSSID, and
802.11a/g, 802.11b, or 802.11n capabilities of each client. Every sampling period, airtime is allocated to each
client, giving it opportunity to get and receive traffic. The specific amount of airtime given to an individual client
is determined by the following factors:
l Client capabilities (802.11a/g, 802.11b or 802.11n).
l Amount of time the client spent receiving data during the last sampling period.
l Number of active clients in the last sampling period.
l Activity of the current client in the last sampling period.
The bw-alloc parameter of a traffic management profile allows you to set a minimum bandwidth to be
allocated to a virtual AP profile when there is congestion on the wireless network. You must set traffic shaping
to fair-access to use this bandwidth allocation value for an individual virtual AP.
Enabling Traffic Shaping
Traffic shaping is configured in an traffic management profile.
