Which two characteristics of the underlying physical network does VMware NSX require for robust
IP transport? (Choose two.)

Which two characteristics of the underlying physical network does VMware NSX require for robust
IP transport? (Choose two.)

A.
The physical network should provide scalable network I/O using Layer 2 Multipathing (L2MP)
and Multichassis Link Aggregation (MLAG).

B.
The physical network should provide scalable network I/O using Equal Cost Multipathing
(ECMP).

C.
QoS is not necessary since classification and marking will be done in the overlay.

D.
QoS classification and marking is required to provide end-to-end flow control.

Agreed B,D

Pg 101:

A key benefit of NSX’s network virtualization functionality is virtual-to-physical
network abstraction and decoupling. For successful NSX deployment, it is
important that the physical fabric provides robust IP transport with the following
attributes:
• High-bandwidth & fault-tolerance
• Jumbo MTU
• Quality of Service (QoS)

Pg 09:
Additionally, the NSX Edge provides an ideal centralized
point for seamless integration with the physical network infrastructure to handle
communication with the external network (i.e., north-south communication) with
ECMP-based routing.
