I am reading this good document and essential for lab preperation:

I saw this on page 41 and I wonder if it is a misprint. 

page 41:

"IEEE 802.11e, IEEE 802.1P, and DSCP Mapping
WLAN data in a Unified Wireless network is tunneled via LWAPP (IP UDP packets). 
To maintain the QoS classification that has been applied to WLAN frames, a 
process of mapping classifications to and from DSCP to CoS is required.
For example, when WMM classified traffic is sent by a WLAN client, it has an 
IEEE 802.1P classification in its frame. The AP needs to translate this 
classification into a DSCP value for the LWAPP packet carrying the frame to 
ensure that the packet is treated with the appropriate priority on its way to 
the WLC. A similar process needs to occur on the WLC for LWAPP packets going to 
the AP.
A mechanism to classify traffic from non-WMM clients is also required, so that 
their LWAPP packets can also be given an appropriate DSCP classification by the 
AP and the WLC."

This caught my eye:
"traffic is sent by a WLAN client, it has an IEEE 802.1P classification in its 
frame"

Am I going mad or should this not be 802.11e ? cause 801.1p is COS used on the 
wire vlan trunks. Right ??

your thoughts ?

regards. Kristjan
