Introduction to ATF

Onl
Use
 ATF means “Airtime Fairness”.

sz.c tial
 Station airtime fairness works in the same WMM AC in a group by using DWRR.

om
@ tw iden
• To make all stations have the same airtime usage in the same WMM AC.

• To avoid that the slow client use too much airtime and decrease the total throughput.

ong onf
 In other words, we change station’s Tx packet schedule to achieve airtime fairness

 In WATF mode, we can service VIP station by setting it in high level group.

 The lowest level group can be use to “guest station”.

 If you don’t set MAC address in any level, we will use Level 0’s airtime quantum by
