Question 750
A network specialist investigates this evidence: Monitoring shows average uplink utilization only 30 percent, but switch buffer drops occur during short synchronized backups. Which underlying condition BEST explains the observed failure or requirement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Microbursts overwhelm small queues even with low interval averages. Subsecond bursts can exceed egress queue capacity.
Incorrect Answers
The slowest shared link limits end-to-end throughput. That does not establish microbursts overwhelm small queues even with low interval averages.
Optical transceiver compatibility and receive-light measurements diagnose the physical signal path before higher-layer work. That does not establish microbursts overwhelm small queues even with low interval averages.
Too many devices contend for the same radio channel. That does not establish microbursts overwhelm small queues even with low interval averages.
