Question 730
The design record describes this issue: During a predeployment review for a financial trading campus, the team discovers this design gap: remote management traffic is regularly delayed by a large software-image transfer over a narrow WAN circuit. An approval gate requires both a measurable acceptance check and a durable prevention control. Which technical principle BEST explains the design decision?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Critical management flows can be protected from starvation by a coherent end-to-end QoS policy. The correct engineering response is: Classify and provide bounded bandwidth priority for required management-plane protocols. The observable check is: SSH, telemetry and route-monitoring traffic remain usable during sustained bulk transfers. The financial trading campus acceptance record also captures this result.
Incorrect Answers
Critical management flows can be protected from starvation by a coherent end-to-end QoS policy. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: OOB management can remain accessible when an in-band production network or routing plane fails. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
Critical management flows can be protected from starvation by a coherent end-to-end QoS policy. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Management-plane segmentation reduces the attack surface and common-mode dependency on user traffic. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
Critical management flows can be protected from starvation by a coherent end-to-end QoS policy. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Weighted random early detection can drop selected packets before total queue exhaustion to help reduce synchronized TCP congestion. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
