Which of the following is used to define how much bandwidth can be used by various protocols on the network?
A . Traffic shaping
B . High availability
C . Load balancing
D . Fault tolerance
Answer: A
Explanation:
If a network connection becomes saturated to the point where there is a significant level of contention, network latency can rise substantially.
Traffic shaping is used to control the bandwidth used by network traffic. In a corporate environment, business-related traffic may be given priority over other traffic. Traffic can be prioritized based on the ports used by the application sending the traffic. Delayed traffic is stored in a buffer until the higher priority traffic has been sent.
