Traffic Control with Wi-Fi QoS
Traffic Control with Wi-Fi QoS helps learners understand how wireless networks prioritize traffic when multiple clients, devices, and applications compete for airtime. The course explains why Quality of Service matters in Wi-Fi environments, how the original Distributed Coordination Function access method works, and how Enhanced Distributed Channel Access improves traffic prioritization for modern wireless networks. Learners connect QoS concepts with practical WLAN design considerations, including voice, video, data traffic, contention behavior, airtime access, and performance expectations. The course also helps learners understand how different traffic types are handled and why proper prioritization is important for reliable wireless communication. By understanding how Wi-Fi QoS mechanisms influence airtime usage and user experience, this course helps learners make better design and operational decisions for enterprise wireless performance.

Keith Bogart
Course Instructor
Keith started his networking career as customer service representative at Cisco Systems in 1996. His desire to learn more soon led him to a position as a Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineer on the “Dial-Access” team, and within six months he had obtained his Dial-ISP CCIE. He later became a network consulting engineer and obtained his CCNA certification while teaching the technologies to Cisco employees during his lunch breaks. Keith was the first instructor on Cisco’s TAC Training team, where he taught a wide range of internetworking topics and later developed and taught other courses such as routing protocols, LAN switching, MPLS, 802.1x, and CCNA. After almost 17 years with Cisco, Keith joined a small startup and focused on 802.11 Wi-Fi technologies, during which time he obtained his CWNA certification. He is now very happy to be working as an instructor for Routing & Switching. Keith lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with his wife, son, and daughter. When he is not teaching Bootcamps, Keith can be found at home with his family, reading, or working in the yard.
