Multicast traffic can generate unnecessary overhead if it is not properly managed.IGMP Snooping (Option C)ensures thatmulticast packets are only sent to VMs that have requested them, rather than broadcasting to all VMs.
Option C (IGMP Snooping) is correct:
Itreduces unnecessary multicast trafficby ensuring that only subscribed VMs receive the packets.
It is supportednatively in AHV networking.
Option A (LACP) is incorrect:
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)improves bandwidth and redundancy but doesnot control multicast traffic.
Option B (UDP) is incorrect:
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a transport protocol, not a network optimization feature.
Option D (Network Segmentation) is incorrect:
Segmentation (VLANs, VPCs) isolates networksbut does not optimizemulticast traffic specifically.
