   A company has an SD-WAN deployment with a 200 Mbps MPLS link and a 400 Mbps broadband link. The network team has been monitoring utilization and found that the MPLS link is consistently at 90% utilization, while the broadband link is at 60%. They have also noticed that a large file transfer application is consuming 150 Mbps on the MPLS link. The file transfer is not time-sensitive. What should the network team do to optimize the bandwidth plan?

   • ALimit the file transfer application to 50 Mbps on the MPLS link.
   • BDisable the file transfer application during peak hours.
   • CMove the file transfer application to the broadband link and implement QoS to prioritize critical applications on the MPLS link.
   • DIncrease the bandwidth on the MPLS link to accommodate the file transfer and other traffic.

   A university is planning an SD-WAN deployment for its campus. The campus has a 1 Gbps internet link and a 500 Mbps MPLS link. The university has three main traffic types: online learning platforms (LMS) that require 200 Mbps, video streaming for lectures that requires 300 Mbps, and administrative systems that require 50 Mbps. The LMS and administrative systems are critical, while video streaming is not. What is the most appropriate bandwidth plan?

   • APlace LMS on the MPLS link, and video streaming and administrative systems on the internet link.
   • BPlace all three traffic types on the internet link, and use the MPLS link for failover.
   • CPlace LMS and administrative systems on the MPLS link, and video streaming on the internet link.
   • DPlace video streaming on the MPLS link, and LMS and administrative systems on the internet link.

   A hospital network is planning an SD-WAN deployment. They have identified the following application requirements: Electronic Health Records (EHR) system requires 50 Mbps, medical imaging (PACS) requires 200 Mbps, and VoIP for nurse communication requires 10 Mbps. The hospital has two links: a 300 Mbps MPLS link and a 500 Mbps internet link. The PACS system is used for non-urgent image transfers, while EHR and VoIP are critical for daily operations. What is the most appropriate bandwidth plan?

   • APlace EHR on the MPLS link, and PACS and VoIP on the internet link.
   • BPlace EHR and VoIP on the MPLS link, and PACS on the internet link, with QoS prioritizing EHR and VoIP.
   • CPlace all three applications on the MPLS link, and use the internet link only for failover.
   • DPlace PACS on the MPLS link, and EHR and VoIP on the internet link.
