* IGMP snooping is a feature that allows switches to monitor the IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) messages between hosts and multicast routers, and to learn which ports are interested in receiving which multicast groups.
* IGMP snooping can improve the network performance by reducing the unnecessary flooding of multicast traffic to all ports, and by forwarding it only to the ports that have requested it.
* IGMP snooping can also conserve bandwidth and CPU resources on the network devices and hosts, as they do not have to process unwanted multicast packets.
* IGMP snooping can be especially useful for streaming video applications, as they often use multicast to deliver the same content to multiple devices simultaneously.
* The other options are not relevant to addressing the issue of network performance degradation due to streaming video:
* Implementing another DHCP server would not help, as DHCP is used to assign IP addresses and other network parameters to hosts, but it does not affect the multicast traffic or the streaming video quality.
* Reconfiguring port tagging for the video traffic would not help, as port tagging is used to identify the VLAN membership of frames, but it does not control the multicast traffic or the streaming video quality.
* Changing the SSID of the APs would not help, as SSID is used to identify the wireless network name, but it does not affect the multicast traffic or the streaming video quality. References:

* The OSI model is a conceptual framework that describes how data is transmitted and processed across a network. It consists of seven layers, each with a specific function and responsibility.
* The application layer (layer 7) is the highest layer of the OSI model and interacts with the user applications and services. It provides the interface and functionality for the end-user communication.
* The presentation layer (layer 6) is the layer below the application layer and receives data from it. It is responsible for converting the data into a common syntax and format that is readable by other devices on the network. It also handles encryption, compression, and translation of data.
* The network layer (layer 3) is the layer that handles the routing and addressing of data packets across different networks. It uses logical addresses, such as IP addresses, to identify the source and destination of the data.
* The physical layer (layer 1) is the lowest layer of the OSI model and deals with the transmission and reception of raw bits over the physical medium. It defines the electrical, mechanical, and procedural characteristics of the network devices and cables.
* Therefore, the correct answer is C. Layer 6, as it is the layer that receives data from the application layer and converts it into syntax that is readable by other devices on the network. References:

The distribution layer is the layer that connects the access layer to the core layer in a hierarchical network design. The distribution layer is responsible for routing, filtering, and policy enforcement between the LAN and the WAN. A router is a layer 3 device that can perform these functions and connect to different WAN technologies.
