QuestionQ61

Campus and Branch LAN Design

Which two statements are accurate about reducing the oversubscription ratio in your campus network?

Choose two
  • A A lower oversubscription ratio increases the overall cost of the network.
  • B A lower oversubscription ratio provides less available bandwidth to handle congestion.
  • C A lower oversubscription ratio decreases the overall cost of the network.
  • D A lower oversubscription ratio provides more available bandwidth to handle congestion.
Explanation

A lower oversubscription ratio provisions more network capacity relative to demand, so it provides more available bandwidth to absorb congestion. That additional capacity and the associated ports, links, or hardware increase the overall network cost. Cisco documentation likewise states that a lower oversubscription ratio delivers higher performance but is more costly.
