You configure a Check Point QoS Rule Base with two rules: an HTTP rule with a weight of 40, and the Default Rule with a weight of 10. If the only traffic passing through your QoS Module is HTTP traffic, what percent of bandwidth will be allocated to the HTTP traffic?
A.
80%
B.
40%
C.
100%
D.
50%
I’m sure the admin guide says the equation is “rule weight” / “total weight”… so if it is the only traffic, surely it’s 40/40 = 100%
I agree, must be C.
hi Paul,
i am not really sure about weight in QoS, but u say “total weight”, why are u not adding default rule weight?
Harri: the “total weight” is the sum total of all the *active* traffic. As there is currently NO traffic that matches the default rule, the total weight is currently 40+0 = 40%.
See page 32 of the R75 QoS manual
I think it shud be A.
there are 2 rules 1 = 40 and 2 = 10, 40 + 10 = 50(total weigth) , so 40/50= 80%
hi Guilermo,
i have same thought with you before, but as question say “If the ONLY traffic passing through your QoS Module IS HTTP traffic, what percent of bandwidth will be allocated to the HTTP traffic”
as i know weight base Qos is realtime counting. so the answer should be 100% since there is no traffic other than HTTP.
Harri is correct. Reference page 32 of the QoS Admin Guide. Table 3-13. “It is important to note that the bandwidth allocation is constantly changing. Bandwidth is allocated among connections according to their relative weight. As the connection mix changes — as it does continuously as connections are opened and closed — QoS changes the bandwidth allocation in accordance with the QoS Policy, so that bandwidth is never wasted. For example, if the HTTP, FTP and TELNET connections are all closed, and the only remaining connection is the RealAudio connection, RealAudio will receive 100% of the bandwidth.”
C. 100%
From “QoS Tutorial”
…..For example, if the HTTP, FTP and TELNET connections are all closed, and the only remaining connection is the RealAudio connection, RealAudio will receive 100% of the bandwidth.
