Explanation

DIA (Direct Internet Access) is correct because enterprises are increasingly deploying DIA at branch offices to handle growing bandwidth demands - rather than backhauling all internet traffic through a central data center over MPLS, branches get their own direct internet connections, reducing latency and increasing throughput.

  • B (IoT) is wrong because IoT (Internet of Things) describes connected devices - it's a consumer of bandwidth, not a solution to bandwidth constraints.
  • C (IPsec VPN) is wrong because while IPsec VPNs provide secure tunnels, they don't inherently increase bandwidth capacity and can actually add overhead; they're a security mechanism, not a bandwidth solution.
  • D (Limited guest Wi-Fi) is wrong because guest Wi-Fi is typically restricted/throttled and serves a narrow use case - it's the opposite of a strategy to meet increasing bandwidth demands.

Memory tip: Think DIA = Direct = More bandwidth - when the branch needs more, you go direct to the internet instead of routing everything the long way through HQ.
