Quality of Service (Qos) ensures voice quality by managing data communications so that voice packets and other real-time data are prioritized
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
The statement is true because Quality of Service (QoS) is a network management technique that prioritizes certain types of traffic, such as voice packets and real-time data, over others. By giving priority to voice packets, QoS ensures that voice quality is maintained by minimizing delays, jitter, and packet loss during transmission. This prioritization helps to prevent issues like dropped calls, choppy audio, and poor voice quality, ultimately improving the overall user experience for voice communications.
