Alcatel-Lucent NRS II – IP/MPLS Services — Question 30

If packets egressing a SAP do not match any criteria defined in the SAP-egress policy, which forwarding class will these packets be assigned to?

Answer options

• A. The default forwarding class defined in the SAP-egress policy.
• B. The forwarding class inherited from network ingress classification.
• C. Best Effort.
• D. If there is no match, packets will be dropped.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because if packets do not match any criteria in the SAP-egress policy, they are assigned to the default forwarding class specified in that policy. Option B is incorrect as it pertains to ingress classification, not egress. Option C is also wrong since 'Best Effort' is not automatically assigned if there are no matches, and option D is incorrect because packets are not dropped but rather assigned to the default class.
