Question 410
A service interface uses strict-high priority for a monitoring class. Observed: Other business queues starve whenever monitoring traffic floods. After the correction, which result would most convincingly show that this fault is resolved?
Explanation
Correct Answer
After limit the high-priority offered rate and use appropriate scheduling for the remaining classes, inspect whether critical monitoring meets latency objectives while business queues retain guaranteed service. This closes the loop between the reported observation (Other business queues starve whenever monitoring traffic floods) and the underlying issue (A strict-priority queue has no effective cap or rate control).
Incorrect Answers
That observation would verify a separate fault involving the egress rewrite rule does not map forwarding class and loss priority to the agreed codepoint. Its symptom is Packets leave the WAN interface with DSCP zero despite correct internal classification. For this case the actual issue is a strict-priority queue has no effective cap or rate control, and the relevant success signal is Critical monitoring meets latency objectives while business queues retain guaranteed service.
It confirms an unrelated service correction: Tenant-facing scheduler profiles were copied without evaluating each contracted committed rate. The present case reports Other business queues starve whenever monitoring traffic floods. Its completion test is Critical monitoring meets latency objectives while business queues retain guaranteed service.
This result is useful in another case with evidence Egress utilization consistently exceeds the expected data rate when frame overhead is included. It does not test recovery from other business queues starve whenever monitoring traffic floods. Check instead whether critical monitoring meets latency objectives while business queues retain guaranteed service.
