Implementing and Operating Cisco Collaboration Core Technologies (CLCOR) — Question 98

There is a saturated link that has traffic shaping configured. How is incoming traffic processed?

Answer options

• A. Traffic is compressed so that the traffic fits within the bandwidth of the link.
• B. Excess traffic is queued, and then dropped after the timer expires.
• C. Excess traffic is queued for later transmission.
• D. Excess traffic is dropped.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, indicates that excess traffic is queued for later transmission, which aligns with the purpose of traffic shaping to manage bandwidth. Option A is incorrect because traffic compression is not a function of traffic shaping. Option B is wrong as it suggests that traffic is dropped after a timer instead of being queued. Option D is also incorrect because it states that traffic is simply dropped rather than queued.
