CV0-002 · Question #59

Which of the following can be used to assign priority to specific network traffic?

The correct answer is B. QoS. Quality of Service (QoS) is used to prioritize specific network traffic over others, ensuring critical applications receive adequate bandwidth and low latency.

Why each option

Quality of Service (QoS) is used to prioritize specific network traffic over others, ensuring critical applications receive adequate bandwidth and low latency.

ALoad balancing

Load balancing distributes network traffic across multiple servers or resources to optimize resource utilization and maximize throughput, but it does not assign priority to specific types of traffic.

BQoSCorrect

Quality of Service (QoS) is a set of technologies that allows an administrator to manage network traffic and ensure the performance of critical applications. It achieves this by prioritizing certain types of traffic, such as voice or video, over less critical traffic through mechanisms like traffic shaping and queuing.

CNIC teaming

NIC teaming combines multiple network interface cards into a single logical interface for increased bandwidth and redundancy, not for prioritizing specific traffic types.

DJumbo frames

Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames larger than the standard 1500-byte MTU, designed to increase network efficiency by reducing the number of frames transmitted, but they do not provide a mechanism for traffic prioritization.
