Q

Router needs to inspect traffic beyond layer 4

A

Deep packet inspection

28
Q

Tool that recognizes well known applications

A

Network Based Application Recognition (NBAR)

29
Q

How does NBAR recognize packets?

A

By examine the data payload

30
Q

Smoothes out traffic and if it exceeds the offered bandwidth, it buffers or delays it.

A

Shapers

31
Q

Where should policers be placed to drop traffic as soon as possible so it doesn’t waste resources?

A

ingress

32
Q

When traffic exceeds the allotted bandwidth, what can policers do with the traffic?

A

Drop or re-mark

33
Q

When congestion occurs, packets get ordered in output buffers

A

Queuing

34
Q

Decides which packet should be sent out next and occurs regardless of whether there is congestion

A

Scheduling

35
Q

What are the three scheduling mechanisms?

A

Strict priority

Round-robin

Weighted fair

36
Q

Queues with lower priority are only served when the higher priority queues are empty. There is a risk that lower priority traffic will never be processed (traffic starvation)

A

Strict priority

37
Q

Packets in queues are served in a set sequence

A

Round-robin

38
Q

Queues are weighted so that some are served more frequently than others. Solves starvation and also gives priority to real time traffic

A

Weighted fair

39
Q

What queueing mechanism guarantees fair bandwidth for traffic classes. No latency guarantees and is only suitable for data networks

A

Class-based weighted fair queuing

40
Q

Takes the class-based weighted fair and adds a queue with strict priority for real time traffic

A

Low-latency queueing

41
Q

Default queuing response to congestion and drops packets as they arrive

A

Tail drop

42
Q

Congestion avoidance mechanism that randomly drops packets before the queue fills up. Randomness is skewed by traffic weights.

A

WRED

43
Q

Monitors the buffer depth and performs early discards on random packets.

A

Random Early Detection

44
Q

What three features are properties and one-way requirements for voice traffic?

A

Smooth

Latency below 150ms

30-128 kbps

Jitter <30ms

45
Q

Where does Cisco recommend that traffic be classified and marked?

A

As close as possible to the network edge

46
Q

The trust boundary lies between the _____ interface of the device that will trust the QoS markings and the _____ interface of the device marking the traffic.

A

ingress

egress

47
Q

Smooths out temporary bursts of traffic and enables a network interface to more efficiently handle traffic flows whose combined rates approach the maximum bandwidth available on the interface.

A

shaping

48
Q

You have enabled QoS on a Cisco router. The router receives marked traffic on an interface that uses the default settings. What will occur?

A

Traffic will be classified and re-marked without regard to QoS markings

49
Q

Where does the trust boundary lie?

A

Between ingress interface of device that will trust the QoS markings and the egress interface of the device marking the traffic

50
Q

By default, how are ports marked when QoS is first enabled?

A

untrusted

51
Q

What do OSI Layer 2 QoS markings such as Ethernet Class of Service (CoS) values do?

A

Enable devices incapable of accessing Layer 3 header information to make informed QoS decisions

52
Q

A queuing system has three queues serviced with round robin scheduling and one low latency queue that holds all voice traffic. Round robin queue 1 holds predominantly UDP traffic, while round robin queues 2 and 3 hold predominantly TCP traffic. The packets in each queue happen to have a variety of DSCP markings per the QoS design. In which queues would it make sense to use a congestion avoidance (drop management) tool?

A

Queues 2 and 3

Drop management relies on the behavior of TCP, in that TCP connections slow down sending packets due to the TCP congestion window calculation. Voice traffic uses UDP, and the question states that queue 1 uses UDP. So, queues 2 and 3 are reasonable candidates for using a congestion management tool.

53
Q

On networks that utilize Low Latency Queuing (LLQ), _____ is a common problem that can be seen under times of high network load. In these circumstances the routers will always give preference to the voice or video traffic classified into the LLQ, leaving all other traffic to sit idle in a queue.

A

queue starvation

54
Q

You want to guarantee that more important traffic will always be sent before less important traffic. What are you most likely to configure?

A

priority queuing

55
Q

What are the four basic queuing mechanisms available on most Cisco hardware platforms?

A

FIFO (First in First out), PQ (Priority Queuing), Custom queuing (CQ), weighted fair

56
Q

What type of queuing mechanism does the packet exit a queue in the same order that they entered?

A

FIFO

57
Q

What is the downside of using FIFO?

A

Can introduce considerable amounts of delay and jitter because of the inherent lack of prioritization.

58
Q

What queuing is generally used by default on Cisco devices?

A

FIFO

59
Q

What protocol is used to mitigate VoIP quality problems and can reserve bandwidth along an entire path?

A

RSVP (Resource Reservation Protocol)

60
Q

Where is traffic policing typically implemented?

A

ingress traffic to limit the amount of processing for traffic that will inevitably be discarded

61
Q

Implemented on egress traffic to maintain service level agreements (SLAs) and optimize available bandwidth without exceeding a configured committed access rate (CAR).

A

Traffic shaping

62
Q

Which statement about QoS default behavior is true? - Ports are untrusted by default

  • VoIP traffic is passed without being tagged
  • Video trafic is passed with well-known DSCP value of 46
  • Packets are classified internally with an environment
  • Packets that arrive with a tag are untagged at the edge of administrative domain
A

Packets that arrive with a tag are untagged at the edge of administrative domain

63
Q

Which option describes the purpose of traffic policing? It prioritizes routing protocol traffic It remarks traffic that is below the CIR It drops traffic that exceeds the CIR It queues and then transmits traffic that exceeds the CIR

A

It drops traffic that exceeds the CIR

64
Q

Which statement about QoS default behavior is true?

A. Ports are untrusted by default.
B. VoIP traffic is passed without being tagged.
C. Video traffic is passed with a well-known DSCP value of 46.
D. Packets are classified internally with an environment.
E. Packets that arrive with a tag are untagged at the edge of an administrative domain.

A

E. Packets that arrive with a tag are untagged at the edge of an administrative domain.
