39
Q

What is the reason for the forward delay time in STP?

A

At the same time all switches have been all told to time out their MAC table entries. When topology changes the existing MAC table entries may cause a loop.

Switches tell each other (BPDU) that topology has changed and to time out entries, but causes need to wait in listening and learning states (15secs each)

49
Q

50
Q

Why should you avoid putting TCP and UDP traffic in the same class for QoS?

A

It can cause TCP starvation.
UDP traffic is not aware of packet loss due to congestion control mechanisms, so devices sending UDP traffic might not reduce their traffic rates, dominating the queue and starving TCP traffic

51
Q

What is the Global TCP Synchronization problem and what can cause it?

A

Tail drop can cause it.

Global TCP Synchronization is when all TCP sources in a network reduce traffic flow during periods of congestion and then increase it after, triggering congestion again

52
Q

What is WRED and what key problem does it address?

A

Congestion avoidance mechanism that addresses Tail Drop.

It allows you to configure different Tail drop thresholds for each IP precedence or DSCP value so that lower priority traffic is more likely to be dropped
