Assume all transmitted frames on a SONET port are 1500 bytes and that the average frame overhead has been configured as 10%. If the total bandwidth of all queues, excluding overhead, needs to be guaranteed at 55 Mbps, how much bandwidth should be configured for the egress port scheduler applied on that port?
A) 55 Mbps / 1.1 = 50 Mbps
B) 55 Mbps
C) 55 Mbps + 55 Mbps * 0.1 / 1.1 = 60 Mbps
D) 55 Mbps * 1.1 = 60.5 Mbps

To account for the 10% overhead, the bandwidth should be increased by 10% of the required 55 Mbps, resulting in 55 Mbps * 1.1 = 60.5 Mbps.
