In WCCP, what happens if a specific capability is missing from the capabilities Info Component?

The router will assume default capability support
The router will not operate
A notification will be sent
The router will reset

The correct answer is: The router will assume default capability support

In WCCP (Web Cache Communication Protocol), the capabilities Info Component is essential for ensuring that both the router and the cache server can communicate effectively about the features they support. When a specific capability is missing from this component, the router defaults to a predefined set of capabilities that it assumes are supported. This allows the system to continue operating without disruption, as the default capabilities are established to ensure basic functionality. By assuming default capability support, the system maintains connectivity and operational effectiveness even in the absence of explicit confirmation for certain features. This design choice is crucial for ensuring resilience in network operations, as it allows WCCP to adapt to various scenarios without requiring all capabilities to be explicitly defined. The assumption of default capabilities enables the router to continue performing its duties rather than halting operation, sending notifications, or resetting—actions that could complicate network operations and delay traffic management.
