Which of the following is true about the advantage of a higher priority member over a lower priority member in a network system?

The advantage depends on the corrected bandwidth difference.

The advantage depends on the link-cost-threshold value. (correct)

The advantage depends on the available bandwidth difference.

The advantage depends on the physical speed of the interfaces.

When is a lower priority member placed on top of a higher priority member in a network system?

When the corrected bandwidth difference is higher than the available bandwidth difference.

When the available bandwidth difference is higher than the corrected bandwidth difference. (correct)

When the available bandwidth difference is equal to or lower than the corrected bandwidth difference.

When the available bandwidth difference is equal to or lower than the available bandwidth difference.

When is a lower priority member placed below a higher priority member in a network system?

When the corrected bandwidth difference is higher than the available bandwidth difference.

When the available bandwidth difference is higher than the corrected bandwidth difference.

When the available bandwidth difference is equal to or lower than the corrected bandwidth difference. (correct)

When the available bandwidth difference is equal to or lower than the available bandwidth difference.
