Correct answer: Image A depicts the result of Traffic Policing, Image B depicts the result of Traffic Shaping.
Why this is the answer
Traffic policing, shown in Image A, drops or re-marks packets that exceed the configured rate, leading to an immediate drop in traffic volume once the threshold is met. This results in a "choppy" or "sawtooth" traffic pattern. Traffic shaping, depicted in Image B, buffers excess traffic to smooth out the flow and ensure it conforms to a specified rate. This creates a more consistent, "smoothed" traffic pattern without immediate drops, as the excess data is held and sent later. Therefore, Image A's abrupt cuts are characteristic of policing, while Image B's smoothed output is characteristic of shaping.
