Question

An engineer must propose a QoS architecture model that allows an application to inform the network of its traffic profile and to request a particular type of service to support its bandwidth and delay requirements. The application requires consistent and dedicated bandwidth end to end. Which QoS architecture model meets these requirements?

Options

  • ADiffServ
  • BLLQ
  • CWRED
  • DIntServ

Why each option

The IntServ (Integrated Services) QoS architecture model enables applications to signal their traffic requirements to the network, requesting guaranteed and dedicated end-to-end bandwidth.

ADiffServ

DiffServ (Differentiated Services) classifies and marks traffic based on per-hop behaviors, but it does not provide end-to-end guarantees or allow applications to reserve resources.

BLLQ

LLQ (Low Latency Queuing) is a queuing mechanism that prioritizes time-sensitive traffic but is a component of a QoS strategy, not an architecture model for application signaling and end-to-end guarantees.

CWRED

WRED (Weighted Random Early Detection) is a congestion avoidance mechanism that randomly drops packets to prevent global synchronization, but it does not offer bandwidth guarantees or allow applications to request service types.

DIntServCorrect

IntServ is a resource reservation model where applications use protocols like RSVP (Resource ReSerVation Protocol) to explicitly request and reserve network resources, including specific bandwidth and delay. This architecture provides end-to-end quality of service guarantees, ensuring consistent and dedicated bandwidth for the application's traffic profile.
