ESSID : Extended Service Set ID, When clients are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the SSID that will

does not provide guaranteed throughput. Packets with QoS header including Diffserv/IP ToS and 802.1p will be mapped
into 4 Access Categories of WMM, packets without QoS header will be assigned to the Best Effort queue. Please refer to
the table below for mapping from 802.1p and ToS mapping to WMM:
