Question 640
Operations wants to avoid recurrence of this design flaw: An industrial control network requires explicit per-flow bandwidth commitments at a limited set of controlled links. Which preventive design control MOST DIRECTLY addresses this specific risk?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Restrict per-flow reservation domains and monitor admission state at capacity boundaries. This control targets the underlying design risk. Integrated Services can request per-flow resource treatment but introduces signaling and state scalability trade-offs. The follow-up acceptance check remains: A test reservation is admitted only within available capacity and denied when the configured limit is reached.
Incorrect Answers
DiffServ uses aggregated traffic classes and per-hop behaviors, which scale more naturally than per-flow RSVP-style state. The repeat risk here is different: Integrated Services can request per-flow resource treatment but introduces signaling and state scalability trade-offs. A directly relevant preventive control is: Restrict per-flow reservation domains and monitor admission state at capacity boundaries.
End-to-end QoS behavior depends on consistent class mapping across each administrative transport domain. The repeat risk here is different: Integrated Services can request per-flow resource treatment but introduces signaling and state scalability trade-offs. A directly relevant preventive control is: Restrict per-flow reservation domains and monitor admission state at capacity boundaries.
PIM sparse-mode any-source multicast may use an RP to help establish shared-tree membership and source discovery. The repeat risk here is different: Integrated Services can request per-flow resource treatment but introduces signaling and state scalability trade-offs. A directly relevant preventive control is: Restrict per-flow reservation domains and monitor admission state at capacity boundaries.
