SSID traffic shaping rules configuration in Meraki wireless networks provides administrators with comprehensive Quality of Service (QoS) and bandwidth management capabilities, enabling application-specific traffic prioritization, bandwidth allocation control, network performance optimization, and user experience enhancement. This functionality supports differentiated service levels, congestion management, critical application prioritization, and fair bandwidth distribution across wireless clients. Traffic shaping is essential for optimizing network performance, managing bandwidth-intensive applications, ensuring quality of service for voice and video communications, supporting service level agreements, and maintaining consistent network performance across diverse application workloads and user requirements.

Example-1: The example below demonstrates wireless SSID traffic shaping configuration using tested YAML configuration from pipeline fixtures.
