1. A method performed by a hardware processor, comprising:
inspecting an information packet, the information packet comprising a network level Quality of Service (QoS) field having a first network level QoS portion and a second network level QoS portion;
if the second network level QoS portion is not tagged, determining an application sub-class or user class associated with the information packet;
if not already tagged, tagging the first network level QoS portion of the information packet according to a first network level QoS value, and if the information packet is determined to be sent to a downstream wireless network connected client device, mapping the first network level QoS value to an application-layer message according to a set of mapping rules and tagging the application-layer message according to the mapping;
if not already tagged, tagging the second network level QoS portion of the information packet according to a traffic priority and to the determined application sub-class or user class; and
queuing the information packet for transmission from a network element based on the network level QOS field,
wherein the hardware processor is part of an access point.
