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?
Utilizing carrier sense multiple access (CSMA/CD) for traffic control
Enabling IEEE 802.3x pause frames for full-duplex mode
Applying Quality of Service (QoS) rules to prioritize traffic
Implementing static routing to reduce the number of data hops
Configuring port mirroring to monitor traffic flow
Enabling bandwidth throttling on each network device
