Adaptive Modulation principle

With adaptive modulation, the microwave link can scale down modulation
under reduced conditions
Acts early - before errors are introduced
Protects long data flows for time-out, but with reduced speed
Adaptive Modulation acts only about for one hour a year
The availability gain is depending on certain pre-conditions

Strict Queuing
- All top priority packets are send before next queue is served

- An weighting is applied to the eight queues.
