Network Fundamentals

What is a function of spine-and-leaf architecture?

  • A Offers predictable latency of the traffic path between end devices.
  • B Exclusively sends multicast traffic between servers that are directly connected to the spine.
  • C Mitigates oversubscription by adding a layer of leaf switches.
  • D Limits payload size of traffic within the leaf layer.
Explanation

A spine-and-leaf design provides a consistent, usually two-hop path between connected end devices because each leaf switch connects to every spine switch. That uniform path structure is what gives the fabric low, predictable latency rather than varying delay across different traffic flows.
