Which of the following statements about the bandwidth allocation criteria used by an egress port scheduler is TRUE?
Which of the following statements about the bandwidth allocation criteria used by an egress port scheduler is TRUE?
The correct answer is that the configured CIR (Committed Information Rate) dictates the maximum port bandwidth that can be allocated during the within-CIR pass for that level. This statement is true because, in networking, the CIR is a guaranteed rate allocated to a port or a queue, ensuring that this amount of bandwidth is reserved and available for use. This is a fundamental principle in bandwidth allocation and traffic management, clearly delineating how much bandwidth can be utilized during the first pass of allocation.
A is correct, strict priority based on levels is used at egress port schedulers
