An organization relies on third-party videoconferencing to conduct daily business. Recent security changes now require all remote workers to utilize a VPN to corporate resources. Which of the following would best maintain high-quality videoconferencing while minimizing latency when connected to the VPN?
Utilizing split tunneling so only traffic for corporate resources is encrypted will help maintain high-quality videoconferencing while minimizing latency. This is because it routes non-corporate traffic, such as videoconferencing data, directly to the internet without passing through the VPN, thereby reducing overhead and latency related to VPN encryption and tunneling. This approach allows the videoconferencing traffic to take a more direct, less congested path, leading to better performance and lower latency.
Videoconfrencing has to do with QoS, it was part of the net+
Sure was, I agree
uality of Service (QoS) is a network management technique that prioritizes certain types of traffic, such as videoconferencing data, over other types of traffic on the network. By configuring QoS on the VPN accelerators, the organization can ensure that videoconferencing traffic receives sufficient bandwidth and low latency to maintain its quality, even when other types of traffic are competing for network resources. This helps prevent congestion and ensures that critical applications like videoconferencing receive the necessary priority, reducing the potential for audio or video disruptions during meetings.
Answer is B Don't bring zoom back to the datacenter if you dont have to. Putting QOS on the VPN server does not do much as the internet ignores your QOS markings.
Good to know!
B. Utilizing split tunneling so only traffic for corporate resources is encrypted. Configuring QoS properly on the VPN accelerators may priortize the videoconferencing traffic over other types of traffic, but it does not eliminate the latency caused by the VPN tunneling and encryption.
QoS is about quality. Split tunneling is about security.
QoS Priorities the traffic but does not increase latency
Not on the internet. MPLS yes. Internet good luck with any ISP ack your QOS.
I think D is correct
split tunneling can reduce VPN overhead and potentially improve videoconferencing performance, However, it may introduce security risks by exposing non-corporate traffic directly to the internet without VPN protection. This may violate a requirement.
Video conferencing is 3rd party, and need to minimize latency. Routing it through the VPN will not match the requirement to minimize latency. QoS could be a solution, but B is best here.
The best way to maintain high-quality videoconferencing while minimizing latency when connected to the VPN would be B. Utilizing split tunneling so only traffic for corporate resources is encrypted.
From work experience… B
The best option to maintain high-quality videoconferencing while minimizing latency when connected to the VPN is: B. Utilizing split tunneling so only traffic for corporate resources is encrypted. Here's why: Split tunneling allows only the traffic destined for corporate resources (such as internal applications and servers) to be sent through the VPN tunnel. This means that videoconferencing traffic, which typically goes to third-party videoconferencing servers, would not be routed through the VPN. As a result, it avoids the additional latency and potential congestion that VPN encryption and routing might introduce.
B - key words "remote workers" which means they will be using their own network eliminating QOS. Split tunnel enhances performance.
QoS allows prioritization of VPN traffic to ensure a consistent user experience, especially for applications with high bandwidth requirements2. When configuring QoS, you can select specific network traffic, prioritize it based on relative importance, and employ congestion-management and congestion-avoidance techniques. Implementing QoS in your network enhances predictability of network performance and optimizes bandwidth utilization. QoS is about quality. Split tunneling is about security.
Utilizing split tunneling so only traffic for corporate resources is encrypted would best maintain high-quality videoconferencing while minimizing latency when connected to the VPN. Split tunneling is a technique that allows a VPN user to access both the public internet and the private network simultaneously, without routing all traffic through the VPN. This can improve the performance and quality of videoconferencing applications that rely on low latency and high bandwidth, as well as reduce the load on the VPN server.
It depends if your primary concern is video conferencing Quality. QoS is the better option. If security is a concern VPN split tunneling is the way to go.
B. Utilizing split tunneling so only traffic for corporate resources is encrypted Both B & D are viable options. But B is likely the much better option.
you know that split tunnel VPNs only send some data through the tunnel and the rest through whatever ISP connection the user is on right? so it exposes some data
