An engineer has been hired to implement a way for users to stream video content without having issues on the wireless network.
To accomplish this goal, the engineer must set up a reliable way for a Media Stream to work between Cisco FlexConnect APs.
Which feature must be enabled to guarantee delivery?

A. B. C. D.D.
To ensure reliable delivery of Media Stream between Cisco FlexConnect APs, the engineer must enable the Multicast-to-Unicast Direct feature.
Multicast traffic is typically used for video streaming, and it involves sending a single stream of data to multiple recipients simultaneously. However, multicast traffic is not very efficient over wireless networks and can lead to performance issues and packet loss. Therefore, it's necessary to convert multicast traffic to unicast traffic.
The Multicast-to-Unicast Direct feature allows the AP to convert multicast traffic to unicast traffic and send it directly to the client. This reduces the amount of multicast traffic on the wireless network and ensures reliable delivery of the media stream.
Unicast Direct, on the other hand, sends unicast traffic directly from the AP to the client without going through the wireless controller. This feature is useful for reducing latency and increasing throughput for unicast traffic but is not relevant for multicast traffic.
IGMP Direct is a feature that allows clients to join and leave multicast groups directly without going through the wireless controller. However, it does not address the issue of converting multicast traffic to unicast traffic.
Finally, Multicast Direct is a feature that allows multicast traffic to be forwarded directly between APs in a FlexConnect group. However, it does not address the issue of converting multicast traffic to unicast traffic.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D, Multicast-to-Unicast Direct, which converts multicast traffic to unicast traffic and ensures reliable delivery of media streams over the wireless network.
