Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CIR (Committed Information Rate) provides a pledged minimum transmission rate in a packet-based network.

Answer: G
 SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) provides a pledged minimum transmission rate in a circuit-based network.

Answer: B
 ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) is a packet-based network technology that can provide a pledged minimum transmission rate through the use of a CBR (Constant Bit Rate) traffic class or an ATM PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit).

Note: The other technologies listed also have their own characteristics and features, but they may not necessarily be associated with providing a pledged minimum transmission rate.
