The correct answer is A. Enable QoS on network traffic, prioritizing telecast traffic over uploads.
Explanation: The issue faced by the attendees during video conferences is buffering, which suggests that there may be insufficient bandwidth available to support the telecast traffic. As the corporation regularly uploads audio and video, this traffic may be consuming a significant amount of available bandwidth, leaving little for the video conference traffic.
To address this issue, the IT department should prioritize video conference traffic over the uploads by enabling Quality of Service (QoS) on the network. QoS is a mechanism used to prioritize different types of network traffic to ensure that critical traffic receives the necessary bandwidth to function effectively. By prioritizing telecast traffic over uploads, the IT department can ensure that video conferences are not interrupted by buffering.
Option B, upgrading video conference room equipment, may improve the quality of the video conference but would not address the underlying issue of insufficient bandwidth.
Option C, creating a VLAN for all employees updating social media, would not address the issue of insufficient bandwidth for telecast traffic.
Option D, adjusting the network intrusion device to allow video to flow without filtering, may improve the quality of the video conference but would not address the underlying issue of insufficient bandwidth. Additionally, network intrusion devices are not typically designed to manage network traffic in this way.
