18
Q

With COS, what value do IP Phones mark their voice payload traffic as?

19
Q

What is used to carry DSCP QoS Marking?

21
Q

What is the default DSCP value?

22
Q

What is the default COS value?

A

0 for best effort traffic

23
Q

How many bits are used with DSCP marking?

24
Q

With DSCP, IP Phones mark their call signaling with what value?

25
With DSCP, what do IP Phones mark their voice payload with what value?
46 (EF)
26
True or False: Only DSCP or COS can be in a packet but not both
False. Both DSCP and COS are in the packet. COS for Layer 2 and DSCP for Layer 3
27
What does NBAR stand for?
Network Based Application Recognition
28
What layers does NBAR inspect a packet up to?
3-7
29
What are the 3 main sections of MQC (Modular QoS CLI)
Class Maps Policy Maps Service Policies
30
____________ can be used to manage congestion on routers and switches
Queuing
31
This type of queuing gives bandwidth guarantees to specified traffic type
CBWFQ (Class Based Weight Fair Queuing)
32
This type of queuing is just CBWFQ but with a priority value
LLQ (Low Latency Queuing)
33
___________ and ____________ can be used to control traffic rate
Traffic shaping and policing
34
Traffic shaping _________ any excess traffic so the overall traffic stays within the desired rate limit
Buffers
35
Traffic policing ___________ or re-marks excess traffic to enforce the specified rate limit
Drops
36
This is another term for worm or junk traffic
Scavenger traffic
37
What is the recommended value for DSCP scavenger traffic?
DSCP 8 (CS1)
