Alcatel-Lucent NRS II – IP/MPLS Services — Question 16

Which of the following statements about a queue’s rate parameters is FALSE?

Answer options

• A. If CIR = PIR, then all packets will be considered as in-profile.
• B. CIR can be set to 0.
• C. CIR can be larger than PIR.
• D. CIR can be set to ‘max’.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is incorrect because if CIR equals PIR, it implies that only packets that conform to the rate will be considered in-profile; hence not all packets can be in-profile. Options B, C, and D are correct as they reflect valid configurations of the rate parameters where CIR can be zero, exceed PIR, or be set to a maximum value.
