Homework

This is a network design question, having issues and I cannot find anyone around me to understand anything I say.

We are speaking about network management mechanisms and network device characteristics. We say that end-to-end characteristics are those that can be measured across multiple network devices. Would we consider a single buffer inside a router on a network end-to-end characteristics?

Examples for end-to-end characteristics for network devices are availability, capacity, delay, and delay variation. Would a single routers buffer be considered end-to-end then?

I am banging my head on this question!!

Considering a buffer is somewhat necessary if you are using DSCP.

vWith the right knowledge and preparation, shipping a boat is simple. We suggest you begin the planning process for shipping your boat at least a month before your ship date. This will give you enough time to research your options on boat trailers, choosing a boat carrier, shopping for quotes, and how to best prepare your boat for pickup. You should hire your boat carrier and confirm pickup and drop off dates at least two weeks in advance. For international boat shipping you need to give more time for carriers to research quotes and for proper prepping of your boat for extended transport.
