Zorluk: OrtaQoS Per-Hop Behaviors, Classification, Marking, Queuing, and Traffic Shaping/Policing

An enterprise WAN link connects a remote branch office to the primary data center over a service provider connection with a contracted Committed Information Rate (CIR) of 10 Mbps10\text{ Mbps}. The service provider immediately drops any bursts that exceed 10 Mbps10\text{ Mbps} at the ingress port of the provider edge router. To prevent packet drops during short bursts by queuing excess packets in memory and releasing them at a controlled rate, which Quality of Service (QoS) mechanism should be applied to the enterprise egress router interface?

  1. Traffic shapingCevap
  2. B
    Traffic policing
  3. C
    Layer 2 Class of Service (CoS) PCP marking
  4. D
    Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) remarking

Cevap

Traffic shaping
Traffic shaping uses internal memory buffers to store packets that exceed the configured bandwidth limit (such as a 10 Mbps10\text{ Mbps} CIR) during burst periods. It then releases the queued packets onto the physical link at a steady, controlled rate, preventing packet drops at downstream provider interfaces that strictly enforce rate limits.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the operational requirements of the WAN interface scenario.
The service provider enforces a strict limit (10 Mbps10\text{ Mbps}) and drops micro-bursts that exceed the CIR.
Enterprise traffic exceeding the contracted threshold gets dropped at the provider edge unless smoothed prior to egress.
2
Compare traffic conditioning mechanisms (policing vs. shaping).
Traffic policing discards out-of-profile packets or remarks them; traffic shaping buffers excess traffic and queues it for delayed transmission.
Buffering smoothed traffic prevents packet drops at the provider edge during brief micro-bursts.
3
Select the mechanism that buffers excess traffic for egress transmission.
Traffic shaping is the correct mechanism.
It aligns egress transmission rates with the contracted provider rate via packet buffering.
