Question 610
The network architecture board discusses the following: A branch sends real-time voice and large backups across the same constrained SD-WAN overlay. Which technical principle BEST explains the design decision?
Explanation
Correct Answer
SD-WAN path choice does not replace queuing and traffic treatment at physical congestion points. The correct engineering response is: Design end-to-end class-aware QoS, admission and bandwidth policy for voice and bulk data. The observable check is: Voice loss/jitter stays within SLA during a simultaneous sustained backup transfer.
Incorrect Answers
SD-WAN path choice does not replace queuing and traffic treatment at physical congestion points. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Route, tunnel and policy scale constraints can become bottlenecks even when an initial pilot works. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
SD-WAN path choice does not replace queuing and traffic treatment at physical congestion points. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: SLA-based policy selects eligible paths using active performance measurements rather than only static next-hop reachability. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
SD-WAN path choice does not replace queuing and traffic treatment at physical congestion points. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: DWDM multiplexes distinct optical wavelengths onto one fiber pair to increase transport capacity. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
