According to the best practices, which statement is true as related to the QoS policy that should be implemented on the outbound provider (P) to provider (P) router link in a service provider network that is supporting both VoIP and data?
- A. CBWFQ and CB-RTP header compression should be implemented on the P router egress to ensure minimum latency for VoIP traffic.
- B. CBWFQ and CB-WRED should be implemented on the P router egress to provide a maximum bandwidth guarantee for the VoIP traffic.
- C. In the DiffServ model, ingress and egress QoS mechanisms are only required on the provider edge (PE) routers, so no QoS policy is needed on the P to P link.
- D. LLQ and CB-WRED should be implemented on the P router egress to support both VoIP and data traffic.

- B. weighted early discard
- C. tail discard
- D. random discard
