CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 50

Company XYZ is running BGP as their routing protocol. An external design consultant recommends that TCP path MTU discovery be enabled. Which effect will this have on the network?

Answer options

• A. It will create a loop free path
• B. It will enhance the performance of TCP-based applications
• C. It will improve the convergence time
• D. It will increase the convergence time

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Enabling TCP path MTU discovery allows the network to determine the optimal packet size, which can lead to more efficient routing and faster convergence. Options A, B, and D do not directly relate to the benefits of MTU discovery in relation to convergence time, making them incorrect in this context.
