 To ensure that wireless voice traffic is properly prioritized for Microsoft Skype for Business, the architect should set up firewall policies and SDN to mark voice on the MCs or MM. Firewall policies are used to classify and prioritize traffic based on the application, user role, device type, and location. SDN is used to integrate with the Skype for Business SDN API, which provides real-time information about voice and video sessions, such as source and destination IP addresses, ports, codecs, and quality metrics. By using firewall policies and SDN, the MCs or MM can dynamically mark voice traffic with the appropriate DSCP values and queue them in the highest priority queue on the wireless and wired network12.

The other options are not sufficient or relevant for ensuring wireless voice traffic prioritization for Skype for Business. Broadcast suppression combined with AirGroup is used to reduce the network overhead and improve the user experience for wireless devices that use multicast or broadcast protocols, such as Apple Bonjour or Microsoft UPnP3. Airtime Fairness set to fair-access is used to balance the airtime usage among clients with different capabilities and data rates, such as 802.11ac and 802.11n4. Voice-aware Layer 3 roaming is used to enable seamless handoff of voice sessions across different subnets without dropping the call5. While these features may enhance the overall wireless performance and reliability, they do not directly prioritize voice traffic for Skype for Business.

The customer needs to upgrade their wireless network, which has a single large building with four floors. The customer requires 30 APs on each floor, totaling 120 APs for the whole building. The customer also wants to use a MM-based architecture, and deployone Aruba 7030 MC on each floor, with the MCs combined in a cluster for seamless client failover and roaming. However, the proposed solution does not meet the customer’s requirements, because the Aruba 7030 MC does not support enough APs for the customer’s needs. Each Aruba 7030 MC can only support up to 64 APs, which means that deploying one on each floor would not be enough to support all the required APs. The architect should explain this limitation to the customer, and suggest a different solution that can support more APs, such as using a higher-capacity MC model, or deploying more MCs per floor.

Jitter is the variation in the delay of packets arriving at the destination. It is caused by network congestion, routing changes, or other factors that affect the transmission quality. Jitter can affect the quality of VoIP calls, as it can cause gaps, distortion, or echo in the audio. According to the Aruba Validated Reference Design for Voice and Video over Wi-Fi, the recommended maximum jitter for VoIP calls is 30 ms. Therefore, a jitter of 100 ms would typically cause a poor experience for users.

The other options are incorrect because:

• A. The packet loss is the percentage of packets that are lost or discarded during transmission. Packet loss can affect the quality of VoIP calls, as it can cause missing or corrupted audio. However, according to the Aruba Validated Reference Design for Voice and Video over Wi-Fi, the recommended maximum packet loss for VoIP calls is 1 percent. Therefore, a packet loss of 0.3 percent would not typically cause a poor experience for users.
• B. The throughput is the amount of data that can be transferred per unit of time. Throughput can affect the quality of VoIP calls, as it determines the bandwidth available for the audio. However, according to the Aruba Validated Reference Design for Voice and Video over Wi-Fi, the typical throughput for VoIP calls is 64 Kbps. Therefore, a throughput of 67 Kbps would not typically cause a poor experience for users.
• C. The latency is the delay between the sender and the receiver of packets. Latency can affect the quality of VoIP calls, as it can cause delays or out-of-sync audio. However, according to the Aruba Validated Reference Design for Voice and Video over Wi-Fi, the recommended maximum latency for VoIP calls is 150 ms. Therefore, a latency of 100 ms would not typically cause a poor experience for users.
