A network administrator is configuring a switch to manage congestion in a LAN where connected devices have varying processing capabilities. To ensure that no data is lost when bursts of data arrive faster than what a device can handle, which flow control mechanism should be the BEST choice?
Configuring port mirroring to monitor traffic flow
Enabling IEEE 802.3x pause frames for full-duplex mode
Utilizing carrier sense multiple access (CSMA/CD) for traffic control
Applying Quality of Service (QoS) rules to prioritize traffic
Implementing static routing to reduce the number of data hops
Enabling bandwidth throttling on each network device
