1. A network access device, comprising:
a memory storing computer-readable instructions; and
a processor configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to:
receive one of a Mirrored Stream Classification Service (MSCS) setup request having MSCS information or MSCS information that is proxied to a next hop in an uplink, the MSCS information identifies at least one traffic flow associated with a first user priority (UP);
dynamically generate a downlink rule to store in the memory that matches the first user priority in the MSCS information in the uplink to a downlink traffic flow;
use the downlink rule from the memory to analyze the downlink traffic flow to match the MSCS information in the downlink that is the mirror of the MSCS information in the uplink;
ignore incoming Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) values of the downlink;
apply the user priority to the downlink that mirrors the MSCS information in the uplink; and
map the first UP to Wi-Fi Multimedia-Access Categories (WMM-AC).
