The correct answer is D. QoS. Quality of Service (QoS) allows administrators to prioritize or restrict specific types of network traffic to ensure critical services are not impacted by large data transfers.

Question

A branch office has finished work on a new project and needs to send the data back to the main office where the project will be stored and accessible for the rest of the company. The company administrator has determined current bandwidth between the branch and main office is insufficient to handle the data files without interfering with email and web services for the branch office. Which of the following solutions should the administrator implement to pass data between the two offices without interfering with other online traffic?

Options

  • ALoad balancing
  • BMultipathing
  • CBandwidth compression
  • DQoS

Why each option

Quality of Service (QoS) allows administrators to prioritize or restrict specific types of network traffic to ensure critical services are not impacted by large data transfers.

ALoad balancing

Load balancing distributes traffic across multiple servers or links to improve availability and throughput, but does not control how different traffic types share available bandwidth.

BMultipathing

Multipathing provides redundant network paths for fault tolerance and increased throughput, but does not prioritize or separate traffic types to prevent interference.

CBandwidth compression

Bandwidth compression reduces the size of data to improve effective throughput, but does not prioritize or segregate traffic types to prevent one service from impacting another.

DQoSCorrect

QoS (Quality of Service) enables network administrators to classify and prioritize traffic types, assigning bandwidth limits or priorities to specific flows. By configuring QoS policies, the administrator can throttle or deprioritize the large file transfer traffic while guaranteeing sufficient bandwidth for email and web services, ensuring all traffic coexists without interference.
