A city Wi-Fi engineer validates the voice QoS profile by reading EDCA parameters from Beacons. What is being checked?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Beacons publish the EDCA rulebook—how long each access category waits (AIFSN) and how wide the backoff dice can roll (CW). Reading those numbers is how you confirm the city’s voice QoS profile actually hit the air.
Full Explanation
APs advertise EDCA parameter sets in Beacons/Probe Responses, including AIFSN and CWmin/CWmax per access category. Comparing those values to the designed WMM profile validates that QoS differentiation is configured as intended. Capture-based confirmation catches profile drift that controller screenshots can miss.
