Question

Which traffic sessions can be offloaded to a NP6 processor? (Choose two.)

Options

  • AIPv6
  • BRIP
  • CGRE
  • DNAT64

Explanation

NP6 network processors are designed to accelerate specific types of traffic, including IPv6 and NAT64 sessions, by offloading processing from the main CPU.

Common mistakes.

  • B. RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a routing protocol handled by the control plane and CPU, not a data plane traffic session typically offloaded to NP6 processors.
  • C. While GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunnels carry data, GRE encapsulation/decapsulation itself is not a core traffic session type that NP6 processors are specifically designed to offload.

Concept tested. NP6 processor traffic offloading capabilities
