  1. Dear all,

    i found some explanation as below

    While traffic policing is about dropping or reclassifying packets, traffic shaping tries to make traffic conform to a certain rate by delaying the packets in a buffer and sending them out as “space” becomes available

    So it looks like it should answer A. Thank you!

    1. Will I think that you are describing queuing here “by delaying the packets in a buffer and sending them out as “space” becomes available” so D is the correct answer
