A thorough examination of the curant network infrastructure has revealed that several devices have an unusual high CPU load. A traffic analysis indicates that control plane protocols and management traffic are affected as the devices are busy processing inbound traffic. The networking team is working on updating their design for the entre network to handle situations like this. Which feature or technology can be added to help mitigate the problem?

Question

Accepted Answer

A. control plane policing CoPP defines QoS-style policies that rate-limit or drop specific types of control plane and management traffic before they reach the route processor, directly preventing CPU exhaustion from traffic floods targeting control plane protocols such as OSPF, BGP, SNMP, and SSH.

Answer

B. deep uterface buffers Deep interface buffers absorb short bursts of data plane traffic at ingress and egress queues but do not police or limit traffic directed at the router CPU for control plane processing.

Answer

C. TCAM carving TCAM carving reallocates on-chip memory between features such as routing tables, ACLs, and QoS entries but does not rate-limit or filter traffic directed to the control plane processor.

Answer

D. modular QoS Modular QoS (MQC) can classify and schedule data plane traffic on interfaces but is not designed to protect the control plane CPU from being overwhelmed by inbound control and management traffic.
