A voice target allows latency up to 80 ms, jitter up to 15 ms and loss up to 1%. Member A measures 30/8/0 and cost 5; B measures 15/3/0 and cost 50. With Lowest Cost and load balancing disabled, which member is preferred?

Choose the single best answer.

A.B, because the lowest latency always defines Lowest Cost.
B.Both, because every SLA rule always balances.
C.Neither, because passing members must have equal costs.
D.A, because both meet the SLA and A costs less.

Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

A, because both meet the SLA and A costs less.

Both satisfy every threshold, so the non-balancing Lowest Cost rule favors A’s lower configured cost. B would suit a different best-quality objective. Passing an SLA does not automatically enable load balancing, and costs need not be equal.
