Answer options

• A. lacks support for marking or remarking
• B. must be applied only to outgoing traffic
• C. can be applied in both traffic directions

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because traffic shaping involves queuing out-of-profile packets to manage bandwidth effectively. Option A is incorrect as traffic shaping can involve marking and remarking. Option B is wrong since traffic shaping can be applied to both incoming and outgoing traffic, making option C a valid statement but not the correct answer.
