Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 430

Which Quality of Service (QoS) mechanism allows the network administrator to control the maximum rate of traffic received or sent on a given interface?

Answer options

• A. Policing
• B. Marking
• C. Queueing
• D. Classification

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Policing, as it specifically limits the rate of traffic entering or leaving an interface. Marking, Queueing, and Classification serve different purposes, such as identifying packet priority or organizing traffic, but they do not directly control the rate of traffic flow.
