Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD) — Question 27

Which two statements describe source trees in a multicast environment? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Source trees guarantee the minimum amount of network latency for forwarding multicast traffic
• B. Source trees create an optimal path between the source and the receivers
• C. Source trees use a single common root placed at some chosen point in the network
• D. Source trees can introduce latency in packet delivery
• E. Source trees can create suboptimal paths between the source and the receivers

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The correct answers are A and B because source trees are designed to minimize network latency and create optimal paths for multicast traffic. Options C, D, and E are incorrect as they either misrepresent the function of source trees or describe potential drawbacks that are not inherent to their design.
