Which queuing mechanism supports user-defined traffic classes?
- A.
FIFO
- B.
CBWFQ
- C.
WFQ
- D.
FCFS
Correct Answer
B. CBWFQExplanation
CBWFQ (Class-Based Weighted Fair Queuing) is a queuing mechanism that supports user-defined traffic classes. It allows the network administrator to define different traffic classes based on specific criteria such as protocol, source/destination IP address, or port number. Each traffic class can then be assigned a specific amount of bandwidth, ensuring fair treatment and prioritization of different types of traffic. CBWFQ is commonly used in Quality of Service (QoS) implementations to manage and control network traffic effectively.Rate this question:

What is the function of a QoS trust boundary?
- A.
A trust boundary identifies the location where traffic cannot be remarked.
- B.
A trust boundary identifies which devices trust the marking on packets that enter a network.
- C.
A trust boundary only allows traffic to enter if it has previously been marked.
- D.
A trust boundary only allows traffic from trusted endpoints to enter the network.
Correct Answer
B. A trust boundary identifies which devices trust the marking on packets that enter a network.Explanation
A QoS trust boundary is used to determine which devices within a network trust the marking on packets that enter the network. This means that the trust boundary helps identify the devices that will prioritize or treat the packets based on their markings, ensuring that the quality of service (QoS) requirements are met. It helps in maintaining consistency and reliability in the network by ensuring that only trusted devices are involved in the QoS decision-making process.Rate this question:
