Which two statements correctly identify considerations to take into account when deciding on Campus QoS Design elements? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is A. Voice needs to be assigned to the hardware priority queue. C. Call signaling must have guaranteed bandwidth service. A is correct: Voice traffic requires the hardware priority queue (strict priority / LLQ). Software queues introduce latency and cannot guarantee the sub-150ms one-way delay and low jitter that voice demands. Hardware queuing processes packets at line rate before the software…
Question
Which two statements correctly identify considerations to take into account when deciding on Campus QoS Design elements? (Choose two.)
Options
- AVoice needs to be assigned to the hardware priority queue.
- BVoice needs to be assigned to the software priority queue.
- CCall signaling must have guaranteed bandwidth service.
- DStrict-priority queuing should be limited to 50 percent of the capacity of the link.
- EAt least 33 percent of the link bandwidth should be reserved for default best-effort class.

Explanation
A is correct: Voice traffic requires the hardware priority queue (strict priority / LLQ). Software queues introduce latency and cannot guarantee the sub-150ms one-way delay and low jitter that voice demands. Hardware queuing processes packets at line rate before the software scheduler intervenes. C is correct: Call signaling (SIP, SCCP, H.323) must have guaranteed bandwidth via CBWFQ so that call setup and teardown messages are never dropped or excessively delayed - a signaling failure would cause calls to fail entirely. B is wrong because voice must use the hardware (not software) priority queue. D is wrong because Cisco's SRND guidance limits strict-priority queuing to no more than 33% of link bandwidth, not 50%, to prevent starvation of other traffic classes. E is wrong because reserving 33% for best-effort is not a standard design requirement - best-effort gets whatever bandwidth remains after priority and guaranteed classes are served.
