Q

In an X-Y chart which is on the vertical axis?

A

Y which are the 4 separate queues with Best queue at the top and Worst queue at the bottom.

17
Q

What was the TOS byte originally?

A

3 bit IP Precedence field

18
Q

What is the TOS byte now?

A

Class Selector DSCP values

19
Q

What are the names of the Class Selector values?

A

CS0 through CS7

20
Q

What is Prioritization?

A

The process of giving one queue priority over another in some way.

21
Q

What is Class Based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ)?

A

Uses a round robin scheduler letting the network engineer define the weightings as a percentage of bandwidth.

22
Q

What is Low Latency Queuing?

A
  • LLQ tells scheduler to treat one or more queues as Priority Queues.
  • Priority Queues are always ‘next’.
  • Policer is used to prevent queue starvation.
  • Call Admission Control limits the number of calls the network will handle.
23
Q

What is the Trust Boundary?

A

The point in the network where devices can trust the current QOS markings

24
Q

Where is the Trust Boundary on a VOIP network?

A

The phone

A

Suggested DSCP text name and decimal value for Voice Payloads is EF 46

26
Q

What DSCP Value does the DiffServ RFC recommend that Call Signaling packets be marked as?

A

CS3

27
Q

28
Q

What is Assured Forwarding?

A
  • Defines
    • 12 DSPC AF values used in concert with each other
    • Made up of 4 queues
      • with 3 levels of drop priority for each queue.
29
