Actual exam question for Ericsson's ECP-206 exam
Question #: 29
Topic #: 5
[All ECP-206 Questions]

In your network, video traffic is being marked with DSCP code AF31.

Based on industry standard practice, which code would you use to assign higher priority to VoIP traffic?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The code that is commonly used to assign higher priority to VoIP traffic is EF, which stands for Expedited Forwarding. EF is a per-hop behavior (PHB) defined by the Differentiated Services (DiffServ) model for QoS. EF provides low delay, low jitter, and low loss for real-time applications such as VoIP.EF is marked by setting the DSCP value to 101110, which corresponds to decimal 4678. AF31, which stands for Assured Forwarding class 3 low drop probability, is another PHB defined by DiffServ, but it provides lower priority than EF.AF31 is marked by setting the DSCP value to 011010, which corresponds to decimal 2678. DF, which stands for Default Forwarding, is a PHB defined by DiffServ that provides best-effort service for unmarked traffic.DF is marked by setting the DSCP value to 000000, which corresponds to decimal 078. AF11, which stands for Assured Forwarding class 1 low drop probability, is another PHB defined by DiffServ, but it provides lower priority than EF and AF31.AF11 is marked by setting the DSCP value to 001010, which corresponds to decimal 1078.

AF21 could be a decent alternative, but EF is still king!

DF is not for VoIP, just saying.

Wait, is EF really the best option? I thought AF might work too.

I’m a bit confused about the AF codes. I thought AF31 was already for video, so wouldn’t AF21 be a better choice for VoIP?

I practiced a question like this before, and I believe EF is the standard for voice traffic. It just makes sense to prioritize it that way.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about AF codes being for different classes of service. Maybe AF11 or AF21 could work too?

I think VoIP traffic should be marked with EF, right? It’s supposed to have the highest priority.

I'm a little confused. I know DSCP codes are used for QoS, but I'm not sure how the different codes relate to each other. I'll have to review my notes on this before answering.

Okay, let's see. We're dealing with video traffic marked as AF31, and the question is asking about assigning higher priority to VoIP. Based on that, I'd say the answer is EF.

I'm a bit unsure here. I know DSCP codes are used for QoS, but I can't remember the specific codes off the top of my head. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty confident the answer is EF. That's the standard DSCP code used for high-priority VoIP traffic, so it makes sense to use that here.

I'm not sure about this one. Can someone explain why EF is the best choice for prioritizing VoIP traffic over video traffic marked with AF31?

AF21? More like 'Awfully Frustrating 21' if you ask me. EF is the clear winner here.

I agree with Gail. EF is the Expedited Forwarding codepoint, which is commonly used for VoIP traffic to ensure low latency and high quality.
