Alcatel-Lucent NRS II – IP/MPLS Services — Question 51

When using an egress port scheduler, on which scheduling loop are orphaned queues serviced?

Answer options

• A. Level 8 within CIR.
• B. Level 8 between CIR and PIR.
• C. Level 8, once all PIR is serviced.
• D. Level 1 within CIR.
• E. Level 1 between CIR and PIR.
• F. Level 1, once all PIR is serviced.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because orphaned queues are processed after all traffic under the Priority Information Rate (PIR) has been handled, ensuring that these queues are only serviced when higher priority traffic is not present. The other options incorrectly assert servicing at different levels or conditions that do not align with the handling of orphaned queues.
