[All 300-440 Questions]

A company with multiple branch offices wants a suitable connectivity model to meet these network architecture requirements:

* high availability

* quality of service (QoS)

* multihoming

* specific routing needs

Which connectivity model meets these requirements?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

A fully meshed topology with SD-WAN technology using dynamic routing and prioritized traffic for QoS meets the network architecture requirements of the company. A fully meshed topology provides high availability by eliminating single points of failure and allowing multiple paths between branch offices. SD-WAN technology enables multihoming by supporting multiple transport options, such as MPLS, internet, LTE, etc. SD-WAN also provides QoS by applying policies to prioritize traffic based on application, user, or network conditions. Dynamic routing allows the SD-WAN solution to adapt to changing network conditions and optimize the path selection for each traffic type. A fully meshed topology with SD-WAN technology can also support specific routing needs, such as segment routing, policy-based routing, or application-aware routing.Reference:

A hub-and-spoke model is too limiting for multihoming, right?

The fully meshed topology sounds appealing for high availability, but I’m a bit confused about how dynamic routing would work with SD-WAN for prioritizing traffic.

I think the hybrid topology with MPLS and SD-WAN might be a good fit since it can handle multihoming and specific routing needs, but I need to double-check the QoS aspect.

Okay, I've got a strategy here. Since the hand-off speed is 1Gbps and the CIR is only 50Mbps, we need to implement some kind of QoS to ensure the voice traffic is prioritized. I'm leaning towards option B or C, which both mention hierarchical QoS.

Haha, can you imagine trying to set up a fully meshed SD-WAN network? Talk about a headache! I mean, it might work, but the complexity would be off the charts. I'm with you guys, the hybrid MPLS/SD-WAN approach seems like the most sensible choice here.

You know, I was initially thinking the star topology with internet VPNs and BGP, but the more I think about it, that might not be robust enough for high availability. And the QoS could be tricky to guarantee over the public internet. I'd probably rule that one out.

I agree, the hybrid approach is probably the way to go here. MPLS can provide the reliability and QoS, while SD-WAN adds the flexibility and dynamic routing. Plus, you get that multihoming capability. Though I have to say, option D with the fully meshed SD-WAN also sounds tempting.
