2. Motivation • Reducing Management Frame QoS (MFQ) policy configuration by providing a default MFQ policy

3. Default MFQ Policy • Refer to submission 11-10-0097-06-00ae-management-frame-analysis.xls • The Default priority is defined as: • Management frames which do not belong to action or action no ack subtype are assigned AC_VO priority • The priority is defined for an entire action category (see the “Group Priority” column in xls sheet) and is followed for both action and action no ack subtype • There are 6 action frames whose priority are exception to the group priority (see ones marked in red in “Proposed Priority” column in the xls sheet). • Broadcast Probe Request (with broadcast address as destination address) is proposed to have a default priority of AC_BE • In all we will have default priority as such • AC_VO priority for all mgmt subtype frames except ones supporting action frames (Action and Action no Ack) • Categories with one default AC each • 6 exceptions to the above rules
