Explanation:
In order to optimize the quality of VOIP calls, QoS should be implemented to ensure that
VOIP traffic is prioritized over other traffic types.
By providing a strict queue for VOIP traffic, you will ensure that voice calls take precedence
over the other traffic types.
In order to properly provide for QoS across the network, the voice traffic should be marked to
give priority as close to the source as possible. This will ensure that the traffic is prioritized
end to end.
Finally, WRED (Weighted Random Early Detection) could be configured to prevent
congestion. WRED can be used to selectively drop less important traffic types, instead of
dropping the voice packets when links become busy.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Compression can be used to lower the bandwidth required to transmit VOIP calls, but it
will not help with improving the voice quality. In general, compression of any kind lowers the
quality of VOIP.

For H.323 VOIP networks the ITU-T H.323 standard specifies four components:
gateway
gatekeeper
terminal
multipoint control unit (MCU)
For MGCP/SCCP VOIP networks the components that make up a VoIP system include a
Signaling Gateway, Call Manager, Call Agent, and Media Gateway Controller.
