Which QoS mechanism is used to prioritize certain types of traffic over others?
- Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ)
- First-Come, First-Served (FCFS)
- Last-In, First-Out (LIFO)
- Round Robin
Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) is a QoS mechanism used to prioritize certain types of traffic over others based on assigned weights.
_________ is a method in QoS that dynamically adjusts the priority of different traffic types based on network conditions.
- Policing
- Shaping
- Queuing
- Classification
In QoS, classification is a method that dynamically adjusts the priority of different traffic types based on network conditions.

To prevent unauthorized access, a network administrator can configure Port Security on switch ports.
In an IPv4 network, what is the primary reason for implementing CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing)?
- To improve security by assigning unique IP addresses to each device.
- To overcome the limitations of the traditional class-based IP addressing scheme and efficiently allocate IP addresses.
- To reduce the size of the routing tables and slow down the growth of the global routing table.
- To simplify subnetting and make it easier for administrators to manage IP address assignments.
CIDR is implemented in IPv4 networks to overcome the limitations of the traditional class-based IP addressing scheme and efficiently allocate IP addresses.
The process of modifying the characteristics of a traffic flow is known as _________ in QoS.
- Queuing
- Dropping
- Shaping
- Policing
Shaping in QoS refers to the process of modifying the characteristics of a traffic flow.
