Overprovisioning means ________.
A)assigning high priority to latency-intolerant applications while giving low priority to latency-tolerant applications
B)adding much more switching and transmission line capacity than will be needed much of the time

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Overprovisioning refers to adding more resources (such as bandwidth or storage capacity) than what is currently needed, in anticipation of increased future demand. This ensures that there is always enough capacity available to handle spikes in traffic or workload, without compromising performance or user experience. Therefore, option B - adding much more switching and transmission line capacity than will be needed much of the time - best describes overprovisioning. Option A is incorrect because it refers to prioritization of applications based on their latency requirements, which is not related to overprovisioning.
