QuestionQ264

Media and QoS

Which two characteristics describe QoS traffic shaping?

Choose two
  • A When the traffic rate equals the configured maximum rate, excess traffic is remarked.
  • B When the traffic rate equals the configured maximum rate, excess traffic is dropped.
  • C Traffic shaping queues excess packets.
  • D Traffic shaping can be applied to inbound traffic on an interface.
  • E Traffic shaping can be applied to outbound traffic on an interface.
Explanation

Traffic shaping queues packets that exceed the configured transmission rate and sends them later to smooth outbound traffic. Unlike policing, it does not normally drop or remark the excess packets merely because they exceed the rate.
