A: TRUE Correct answer
B: FALSE
Correct Answer:
A. TRUE
Explanation

In the Nokia SR OS, a transport tunnel is implemented using a Service Distribution Path (SDP). When configuring an SDP, the operator must specify the encapsulation type to be used for tunneling service traffic across the provider core network. The SR OS supports multiple encapsulation types for SDPs, with the two primary options being MPLS and Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE). This allows flexibility in how Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN services are transported over the IP/MPLS backbone.

Why Incorrect

B. (The statement is False) This is incorrect because both MPLS and GRE are explicitly supported and commonly used encapsulation types for SDPs in Nokia's service architecture.
