Suspension or termination of service
What is the primary role of FUPs in optimizing resource allocation?
To help CSPs optimize their resource allocation
What does flexibility in FUPs entail according to the text?
The need to be adjusted over time to accommodate changes in customer usage patterns and technology advancements
Match the following prohibited activities with their descriptions under fair use policies:
Denial-of-service (DoS) attacks = Attempts to overwhelm a server or network with traffic to render it unavailable to other users Spam or unsolicited bulk email = Sending large amounts of unsolicited email messages, which can clog up mail servers and cause performance issues Illegal or malicious activities = Using the CSP's services for any illegal or malicious purposes, such as distributing malware or engaging in cyberattacks Open connections = Connections left open, potentially impacting the performance and availability of resources for other customers
Match the following resource limits with their corresponding elements under fair use policies:
CPU, memory, storage, and network bandwidth = Limits on the amount of resources a customer can consume within a given period Preventing monopolization of resources = Limits to prevent any single customer from affecting the performance of other customers' applications Fair access and usage for all customers = Ensuring that all customers can access and use the CSP's services without impact on performance or availability for others Monitoring customer usage patterns = Identifying potential violations of the FUP and ensuring compliance with resource limits
Match the following guidelines with their corresponding actions under fair use policies:
Prohibited activities = Activities that could harm the CSP's infrastructure or other customers' experience Resource limits = Specifying limits on the amount of resources a customer can consume within a given period Monitoring and enforcement = Identifying potential violations of the FUP and ensuring compliance with resource limits Fair access and usage for all customers = Ensuring that all customers can access and use the CSP's services without impact on performance or availability for others
Match the following potential consequences with their corresponding guideline violations under fair use policies:
Sending large amounts of unsolicited email messages = Could clog up mail servers and cause performance issues Using CSP's services for illegal or malicious purposes = Distributing malware or engaging in cyberattacks Monopolizing resources and affecting other customers' applications = May result in enforcement actions by CSPs Violating guidelines regarding DoS attacks = May render server or network unavailable to other users
Match the following fair use policy benefits with their descriptions:
Fairness and predictability = FUPs ensure that all customers have equal access to the CSP's resources and can predict how their usage may impact their service performance.
