Implementing and Operating Cisco Collaboration Core Technologies (CLCOR) — Question 277

What are two characteristics of QoS Traffic shaping? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. When the traffic rate equals the configured maximum rate, excess traffic is remarked.
• B. When the traffic rate equals the configured maximum rate, excess traffic is dropped.
• C. Traffic shaping queues excess packets.
• D. Traffic shaping can be applied to inbound traffic on an interface.
• E. Traffic shaping can be applied to outbound traffic on an interface.

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

The correct answers are C and E because traffic shaping queues excess packets to manage traffic flow and is typically applied to outbound traffic on an interface to optimize bandwidth usage. Options A and B incorrectly describe the handling of excess traffic when rates are equal, while option D is incorrect as traffic shaping primarily focuses on outbound traffic.
