Ted is a wireless network administrator for a packaging and transportation company. The packaging department and loading dock are both networked over a WLAN since workers in those environments are highly mobile and must use PC Tablets and PDAs to catalog and inventory shipments as they go in and out. Ted has noticed that not all users have equal access to the wireless bandwidth. This is a typical problem on WLANs and he takes steps to correct it. What is the most likely solution Ted should implement to make sure each user has equal access to wireless throughput?

A. Ted should buy a Bandwidth Control Unit for each Access Point and install the unit so that bandwidth will be regulated.
B. Ted should buy a Bandwidth Control Unit and place it between the Access Point in each area and the rest of the network.
C. Ted should buy a Bandwidth Control Unit and install it at the network gateway.
D. Ted should buy a Bandwidth Control Unit and use it as a bridge between each Access Point in each department.

I'll go for A :roll:

 

A seems good. Although D came a close second. :roll:

 

A for me too.

 

Correct answer is B. The BCU is a device that would be placed between the AP in an area and the wired network...usually a gateway, router, or switch. The BCU queues WLAN traffic so that each user has access to an equal amount of bandwidth.
