Why is QoS an important issue in a converged network that combines voice, video, and data communications?
- Data communications are sensitive to jitter.
- Legacy equipment is unable to transmit voice and video without QoS.
Correct Response - Voice and video communications are more sensitive to latency.
- Data communications must be given the first priority.
Explanation: Without any QoS mechanisms in place, time-sensitive packets, such as voice and video, will be dropped with the same frequency as email and web browsing traffic.
