Question 190
A wireless voice call has low RSSI but the WLAN team tries to repair it solely with DSCP priority rules. Which immediate engineering change most directly addresses this issue?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The underlying issue is that traffic priority cannot compensate for unusable wireless link quality. This intervention addresses that cause directly. A useful result to confirm is: voice packet loss improves after coverage correction while approved QoS remains intact.
Incorrect Answers
This is suited to a different condition, such as when a campus uplink gives backup traffic equal scheduling precedence to interactive voice and latency rises during backups. The reported fault instead arises because traffic priority cannot compensate for unusable wireless link quality.
This is suited to a different condition, such as when a wireless network has high airtime consumption from low legacy data rates despite moderate user counts. The reported fault instead arises because traffic priority cannot compensate for unusable wireless link quality.
This is suited to a different condition, such as when a switch receives ingress traffic marked with elevated priority from untrusted student PCs, starving approved voice traffic. The reported fault instead arises because traffic priority cannot compensate for unusable wireless link quality.
