What are three design criteria to consider when you choose how many classes to implement in a DiffServ policy? (Choose three.)
The correct answer is A. service provider support capabilities, which include SLA, PHB, and marking criteria B. the ability to group applications and their requirements into classes F. different capabilities in the network to apply PHBs and queue structures, and the ability to map. DiffServ class design requires considering SP capabilities, application grouping, and PHB/queue mapping - not IntServ signaling or low-level policing mechanics.
Question
What are three design criteria to consider when you choose how many classes to implement in a DiffServ policy? (Choose three.)
Options
- Aservice provider support capabilities, which include SLA, PHB, and marking criteria
- Bthe ability to group applications and their requirements into classes
- Cbaseline expectations and projected growth of RSVP sessions
- Dthe ability to leverage single-rate and dual-rate token bucket policers for different classes
- Ethe total queue depth on the corresponding devices in the network
- Fdifferent capabilities in the network to apply PHBs and queue structures, and the ability to map

Why each option
DiffServ class design requires considering SP capabilities, application grouping, and PHB/queue mapping - not IntServ signaling or low-level policing mechanics.
Service provider SLA, PHB support, and marking criteria directly determine which classes are viable end-to-end, since DiffServ requires consistent treatment across all network domains.
Grouping applications with similar bandwidth, latency, and jitter requirements into common classes is the fundamental purpose of DiffServ class design.
RSVP is an IntServ signaling protocol, not a DiffServ mechanism, and its session count is irrelevant to designing the number of DiffServ classes.
Token bucket policer types are implementation details for enforcing a class, not a criterion for deciding how many classes to create.
Total queue depth is a device-level hardware parameter, not a design criterion used to determine the number of DiffServ traffic classes.
Different network devices have varying PHB support and queue structures, so the number of classes must align with what can realistically be mapped and enforced throughout the entire path.
