350-501 Exam - Question 252


Refer to the exhibit. The application server in the data center hosts voice, video, and data applications over the internet. The data applications run more slowly than the voice and video applications. To ensure that all applications run smoothly, the service provider decided to implement a QoS policy on router PER 2 to apply traffic shaping. Which two actions must an engineer take to implement the task? (Choose two.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AC

To implement a QoS policy on router PE R2 to apply traffic shaping, the engineer must configure the scheduling function to handle delayed packets and configure a queue to buffer excess traffic. Scheduling helps manage how traffic is prioritized and ensures that critical traffic like voice and video is handled efficiently. Buffering excess traffic prevents packet loss and helps smooth out bursts of data, ensuring that all applications, including data applications, run smoothly.

As we are asked to choose 2 items, the 2nd correct answer is option "C", so beside "A", "C" is also correct.

A and (more inclined to option D) Reason for D: it will speed up the packets and reduce buffering Option C will increase buffer and ultimately increase delay. As we are looking to increase the speed not accuracy, we could discard packets especially voice and video. Option C will increase accuracy but decreases speed. So my answer is D.

Option C sorry correcting myself, it says Traffic Shaping not policing.

ccie_raceOption: E

A and (more inclined to option E) Please discard my previous comment. I meant E not D. Reason for E: it will speed up the packets and reduce buffering Option C will increase buffer and ultimately increase delay. As we are looking to increase the speed not accuracy, we could discard packets especially voice and video. Option C will increase accuracy but decreases speed. So my answer is E.

A is wrong, it should schedule the excess packets no the delayed packets. Correct answer: C, E

Sorry, E is wrong because we need to buffer the excess traffic, not to drop it. So, I think A and C are the right answers
