Totally agree, B is about RAM for buffers!

I thought free and available RAM were the same thing?

Wait, isn't cache just for filesystem cache?

Free RAM is definitely available free RAM.

I believe "RAM used for filesystem cache" is correct, but I need to double-check if "RAM available for filesystem buffers" is also one of the right answers.

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to identify memory usage metrics. I think "RAM used for buffers" is definitely one of the answers.

I think the free column shows the available free RAM, but I'm not entirely sure about the buff and cache columns.

I'm a bit confused about the difference between buff and cache. I feel like both relate to memory usage, but I can't recall which one is which.

I've got this! DSCP values correspond to specific binary patterns. I just need to match the AF21 value to the correct 6-bit binary code.

I think this is a pretty straightforward question. The frequency of the deployment client contacting the server is controlled by a configuration setting, so I'll look for something related to that in the options.
