JNCIP-SP: Juniper Networks Certified Professional – Service Provider (2023) — Question 62

You are configuring schedulers to define the class-of-service properties of output queues. You want to control packet drops during periods of congestion.
In this scenario, which CoS configuration parameter would be used to accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. buffer size
• B. priority
• C. shaping rate
• D. drop profile

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, drop profile, as it specifically governs how packets are dropped during congestion to maintain service quality. The other options, such as buffer size and shaping rate, can influence performance but do not directly control packet drops in congested situations.
