In a simple queue, what does the target parameter specify?

• A. The queue name
• B. The interface to which the queue is attached
• C. The maximum bandwidth limit
• D. The IP address or range the queue applies to

Answer: (D)

The target parameter defines which IP address or network the queue applies to. In a simple queue, you’re setting a bandwidth limit for traffic to or from specific hosts, and the target tells the router which addresses are governed by that rule. For example, target=192.168.1.5/32 limits only that single host, while target=192.168.1.0/24 applies to all devices in that subnet. This is about scope, not the queue’s name, nor the interface it’s attached to, nor the actual bandwidth limit (that’s set separately as max-limit).
