CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 863

Which QoS feature drops traffic that exceeds the committed access rate?

Answer options

• A. policing
• B. FIFO
• C. shaping
• D. weighted fair queuing

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Policing is the correct answer because it specifically enforces traffic limits by dropping packets that exceed the committed access rate. FIFO, shaping, and weighted fair queuing do not drop traffic based on exceeding a rate; instead, they manage traffic differently without immediate packet loss.
