A municipal library consortium needs voice queues to survive last-mile congestion on each WAN Edge. Which policy scope applies QoS scheduling and queuing on the box locally?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When the last mile clogs, the Edge itself has to run the queue—localized QoS is the on-box traffic cop. Centralized AAR can pick a better color, but it does not replace local schedulers when that circuit is simply full. Controllers do not forward your library voice packets through their own queues.
Full Explanation
Localized SD-WAN policies run on the WAN Edge and include QoS, access lists, and route policies that act on traffic as it enters or leaves the device. Voice protection under last-mile congestion depends on those on-box classifiers, queues, and shapers. Centralized policies influence overlay pathing and topology but do not substitute for local MQC/qos-map behavior. vSmarts distribute control policy; they do not forward user packets through controller-hosted queues.
