A county campus has constrained WAN links between buildings. How should WLAN data-forwarding architecture be chosen?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If every YouTube stream has to ride downtown through a skinny WAN just to bounce back, you’ve picked the wrong forwarding mode. Keep local traffic local when the WAN is the bottleneck. Stretching one giant VLAN or turning off crypto doesn’t fix architecture.
Full Explanation
Centralized vs distributed data forwarding must reflect where clients and applications live and how much WAN capacity exists. Hairpinning high-bandwidth local traffic through a remote controller can saturate constrained links, so distributed/local forwarding is often appropriate. Flattening VLANs across WAN or disabling encryption are anti-patterns.
