When a link is saturated, it means that the available bandwidth is fully utilized by the traffic flowing through it, and there is no additional bandwidth available for new traffic. This can result in congestion, packet loss, and other performance issues.
To address this problem, traffic shaping can be used to control the flow of traffic and prevent congestion. Traffic shaping is a technique that involves regulating the flow of traffic to ensure that it conforms to a predetermined rate or pattern. This can be accomplished by delaying or dropping packets that exceed a certain rate, or by prioritizing certain types of traffic over others.
Regarding the given options:
A. Traffic compression is a technique used to reduce the size of data being transmitted over a link by encoding the data in a more efficient manner. However, it is not a technique used in traffic shaping, and it would not address the issue of a saturated link.
B. When excess traffic is queued, it is temporarily stored in a buffer until there is available bandwidth to transmit it. However, if the queue becomes full, excess traffic may be dropped to prevent the queue from overflowing. This is known as tail drop, and it can lead to performance issues and network instability.
C. This answer is correct. When excess traffic is queued for later transmission, it is held in a buffer until there is available bandwidth to transmit it. This can help to prevent congestion and packet loss, and it can also help to ensure that traffic is transmitted in a more predictable and consistent manner.
D. Dropping excess traffic is a technique used in traffic shaping when the traffic rate exceeds the maximum configured rate. This is known as policing, and it can be used to enforce a maximum traffic rate or to limit the impact of bursty traffic. However, dropping excess traffic may result in packet loss and degraded network performance.
In conclusion, the correct answer is C. When incoming traffic is processed with traffic shaping, excess traffic is queued for later transmission to prevent congestion and ensure more consistent traffic flow.
