Question: In a 5G network utilizing Network Slicing, what is a primary concern when the allocated resources for a slice do not adapt to varying traffic demands over different time periods?
Option 1: Security breaches due to inconsistent resource allocation
Option 2: Interference with other slices' Quality of Service (QoS) settings
Option 3: Inefficient use of resources without impact on performance
Option 4: Potential for both overload (leading to underperformance) and underutilization (decreasing resource efficiency)
Explanation: The correct answer highlights the dual risk associated with static resource allocation in dynamic network environments. Overload can occur when a slice is allocated insufficient resources, leading to congestion and underperformance. Conversely, underutilization happens when excessive resources are allocated to a lightly loaded slice, reducing overall resource efficiency across the network.
