CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 408

A corporation maintains an active social media presence by constantly uploading audio and video. The corporation also regularly hosts video conferences, but attendees are reporting buffering during their telecast.
Which of the following should the IT department do to improve the ability to attend video conferences without interruption?

Answer options

• A. Enable QoS on network traffic, prioritizing telecast traffic over uploads.
• B. Upgrade video conference room equipment.
• C. Create a VLAN for all employees updating social media.
• D. Adjust the network intrusion device to allow video to flow without filtering.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Enabling QoS (Quality of Service) on network traffic ensures that video conference data is prioritized over less critical uploads, reducing buffering. Upgrading equipment or creating a VLAN may not directly address the bandwidth contention issue, and simply adjusting the network intrusion device might not effectively solve the underlying traffic prioritization problem.
