200-301 · Question #1380

Refer to the exhibit. Which per-hop QoS behavior is R1 applying to incoming packets?

The correct answer is C. queuing. Queuing is a per-hop QoS behavior where incoming packets are buffered and scheduled for transmission based on specific algorithms, managing congestion on an interface.

Why each option

Queuing is a per-hop QoS behavior where incoming packets are buffered and scheduled for transmission based on specific algorithms, managing congestion on an interface.

Amarking

Marking is the act of classifying packets by adding a QoS tag (e.g., CoS, DSCP) to them, which typically occurs earlier in the QoS process and isn't the direct per-hop behavior of handling packets for transmission.

Bshaping

Shaping buffers excess traffic and smooths the output rate to a configured value, typically applied to outgoing traffic over a period, rather than the immediate per-hop handling of incoming packets.

CqueuingCorrect

Queuing is a fundamental per-hop QoS mechanism that involves placing packets into different queues based on their classification and then scheduling their transmission according to a configured algorithm, directly influencing how traffic is handled to mitigate congestion.

Dpolicing

Policing enforces a maximum rate by dropping or re-marking packets that exceed the threshold, which is about enforcing limits rather than the general per-hop behavior of packet scheduling and management.
