Question 4
An engineer must design a QoS solution for a customer that is connected to an ISP over a 1Gbps link with a 100Mbps CIR. The ISP aggressively drops all traffic received over which is causing numerous TCP retransmissions.
The customer is not using any RTP applications but wants to maximize bandwidth usage up to the CIR. Which QoS solution engineer choose?
Correct answer: B
Explanation:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/quality-of-service-qos/qos-policing/19645-policevsshape.htmlTraffic shaping limits the rate of traffic that is sent or received over a network connection by buffering and delaying the flow of data packets. This will help to ensure that the customer is not exceeding the 100Mbps CIR that the ISP has set and also prevent the aggressive dropping of traffic.Traffic shaping will also help to maximize the bandwidth usage while still staying within the limits of the CIR.
