Question 620
At Ridgeway Networks, the engineering change is approved for SRv6 locator algorithm 128. The specific goal is to separate a low-delay service routing intent from the normal algorithm-zero locator. Which implementation step belongs in this change plan?
- Limit the SID stack to the platform-supported maximum or use policy simplification.
- Coordinate supported LDP hello interval and discovery holdtime settings on both core neighbors.
- Classify flows and apply class-based tunnel selection for the supported forwarding policy.
- Assign an SRv6 locator to Flexible Algorithm 128 with compatible IGP configuration.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:Implementing SRv6 locator algorithm 128 requires the operator to assign an SRv6 locator to Flexible Algorithm 128 with compatible IGP configuration. This makes the required goal testable using evidence that locator state shows the intended algorithm and algorithm-specific path reachability.
Incorrect Answers
A:The proposed step is for SR label stack capacity, whose purpose is to validate forwarding hardware can impose all required MPLS labels for an SR policy. It would not perform the necessary SRv6 locator algorithm 128 operation: assign an SRv6 locator to Flexible Algorithm 128 with compatible IGP configuration.
B:The proposed step is for LDP hello discovery timer resilience, whose purpose is to keep an LDP link adjacency stable through brief congestion without hiding real forwarding loss. It would not perform the necessary SRv6 locator algorithm 128 operation: assign an SRv6 locator to Flexible Algorithm 128 with compatible IGP configuration.
C:The proposed step is for CBTS tunnel service assignment, whose purpose is to steer traffic classes over traffic-engineered tunnels according to service treatment. It would not perform the necessary SRv6 locator algorithm 128 operation: assign an SRv6 locator to Flexible Algorithm 128 with compatible IGP configuration.
Question 621
Lakeside Transport has deployed SRv6 locator algorithm 128 to separate a low-delay service routing intent from the normal algorithm-zero locator. The implementation step was to assign an SRv6 locator to Flexible Algorithm 128 with compatible IGP configuration. Which observation demonstrates that the requested service is working?
- Locator state shows the intended algorithm and algorithm-specific path reachability.
- The headend programs the entire label stack without hardware resource errors.
- LDP discovery remains stable through transient hello jitter and times out after a sustained failure.
- Premium and best-effort classes follow their intended TE tunnels.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:For SRv6 locator algorithm 128, successful verification means that locator state shows the intended algorithm and algorithm-specific path reachability. That evidence directly tests whether the provider can separate a low-delay service routing intent from the normal algorithm-zero locator after deployment.
Incorrect Answers
B:The observation would verify SR label stack capacity under the separate requirement to validate forwarding hardware can impose all required MPLS labels for an SR policy. It does not demonstrate the needed SRv6 locator algorithm 128 result: locator state shows the intended algorithm and algorithm-specific path reachability.
C:The observation would verify LDP hello discovery timer resilience under the separate requirement to keep an LDP link adjacency stable through brief congestion without hiding real forwarding loss. It does not demonstrate the needed SRv6 locator algorithm 128 result: locator state shows the intended algorithm and algorithm-specific path reachability.
D:The observation would verify CBTS tunnel service assignment under the separate requirement to steer traffic classes over traffic-engineered tunnels according to service treatment. It does not demonstrate the needed SRv6 locator algorithm 128 result: locator state shows the intended algorithm and algorithm-specific path reachability.
Question 622
While troubleshooting SRv6 locator algorithm 128 at Coastal Communications, the intended acceptance outcome is still missing: locator state shows the intended algorithm and algorithm-specific path reachability. Which fault condition should be investigated first for this particular design?
- An explicit SR path is configured with more imposed labels than hardware supports.
- A locator is left on algorithm 0 and assumed to select delay-aware paths.
- The discovery holdtime expires between expected valid LDP hello packets.
- All classes remain on a single default tunnel despite distinct path requirement.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:The suspected defect directly frustrates SRv6 locator algorithm 128: a locator is left on algorithm 0 and assumed to select delay-aware paths. Correcting it should allow verification that locator state shows the intended algorithm and algorithm-specific path reachability.
Incorrect Answers
A:This defect belongs to SR label stack capacity, where the affected outcome is to validate forwarding hardware can impose all required MPLS labels for an SR policy.

Question 623
Horizon Exchange must validate forwarding hardware can impose all required MPLS labels for an SR policy. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?
- SRv6 H.Encaps policy
- LDP label binding verification
- SR label stack capacity
- targeted LDP session
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:SR label stack capacity matches this requirement: the team should limit the SID stack to the platform-supported maximum or use policy simplification. A relevant outcome would be that the headend programs the entire label stack without hardware resource errors.
Incorrect Answers
A:SRv6 H.Encaps policy instead addresses a different condition: attach a segment routing IPv6 outer header to impose an explicit traffic-engineering path. It would instead require you to configure SRv6 encapsulation and the correct source and segment list, not the stated goal to validate forwarding hardware can impose all required MPLS labels for an SR policy.
B:LDP label binding verification instead addresses a different condition: check the label binding for a specific IGP destination before enabling a VPN. It would instead require you to inspect local and remote LDP bindings and installed labeled forwarding entries, not the stated goal to validate forwarding hardware can impose all required MPLS labels for an SR policy.
D:targeted LDP session instead addresses a different condition: maintain a directed label-distribution peer not connected by a single Ethernet hop. It would instead require you to configure the appropriate targeted LDP discovery and session authentication, not the stated goal to validate forwarding hardware can impose all required MPLS labels for an SR policy.

Question 627
Northstar Carrier must avoid oversized packets after adding segment routing headers or labels. The operator is comparing several service-provider methods. Which design or control directly addresses that stated requirement?
- SRv6 interworking gateway
- MPLS-TE preemption priority
- SR transit MTU planning
- LDP router ID transport stability
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:SR transit MTU planning matches this requirement: the team should account for MPLS label or SRv6 encapsulation overhead in transport MTU design. A relevant outcome would be that path packets reach the egress without fragmentation or drop due to encapsulation.
Incorrect Answers
A:SRv6 interworking gateway instead addresses a different condition: carry traffic between SRv6 and another provider service encapsulation domain. It would instead require you to deploy an interworking PE or gateway with explicit service and forwarding mappings, not the stated goal to avoid oversized packets after adding segment routing headers or labels.
B:MPLS-TE preemption priority instead addresses a different condition: allow higher-priority reservation requests to displace lower-priority capacity commitments. It would instead require you to configure setup and hold priorities consistently with the provider TE policy, not the stated goal to avoid oversized packets after adding segment routing headers or labels.
D:LDP router ID transport stability instead addresses a different condition: keep an LDP session bound to a stable routable label-switching router identity. It would instead require you to configure a reachable loopback router ID as the LDP transport endpoint, not the stated goal to avoid oversized packets after adding segment routing headers or labels.
