C. Fragment data packets: On slow WAN links, large data packets can delay small voice packets (serialization delay). Fragmentation ensures that voice packets are interleaved and not delayed behind large data frames (Link Fragmentation and Interleaving - LFI).
E. Prioritize voice packets: QoS mechanisms (LLQ, priority queuing) ensure that voice traffic is serviced first, reducing jitter and delay.
These are both critical QoS design principles for real-time application performance in constrained branch WAN scenarios, as outlined in CCDE v3.1.
Why other options are incorrect:
A: Increasing bandwidth may help but doesn’t address serialization or prioritization.
B: Memory upgrades do not directly improve voice quality.
D: Fiber upgrades do not address WAN-specific serialization or QoS.
