Correct Answer: A, C, DTo address application performance degradation due to excessive SSL traffic, the administrator should implement QoS (Quality of Service) measures. Configuring QoS on the egress interface for the traffic flows will help manage outgoing traffic efficiently. A QoS profile defining traffic classes is necessary to categorize and prioritize different types of traffic. A QoS policy for each application ID will ensure that specific applications receive appropriate bandwidth and priority, which helps mitigate performance issues. These three elements combined will effectively manage and optimize the traffic flow, addressing the observed performance degradation due to excessive SSL traffic.
