Why each option
AVC (Application Visibility and Control) uses deep packet inspection to identify applications and enables the WLC to block or throttle specific application traffic.
AVC integrates NBAR2-based deep packet inspection into the wireless controller to classify traffic by application name and apply QoS policies that can block, rate-limit, or mark specific application flows. This directly addresses the requirement to suppress non-business traffic in high-density environments by giving the WLC granular, application-aware enforcement capabilities.
CMX (Connected Mobile Experiences) is a location analytics and engagement platform used for tracking device positions and delivering proximity-based services, not for application traffic control.
DSCP is a packet marking mechanism for QoS prioritization in the IP header and cannot identify or enforce policies on specific named applications.
RXSOP (Receive Start of Packet) is a threshold that controls the minimum signal level at which an AP processes incoming frames, affecting coverage and co-channel interference, not application-level traffic management.
