The correct answer is true. An application-aware network can inspect the traffic passing through it to determine the type of application the traffic originates from. It can then use this information to prioritize, block, or apply specific policies to the traffic to optimize network performance and security. For example, an application-aware network might prioritize VoIP traffic over regular data to ensure voice quality. On the other hand, it might de-prioritize or block traffic from unauthorized file-sharing applications to maintain security and bandwidth.
