Question
An engineer is designing a QoS architecture for a small organization and must meet these requirements:

- Bmodular quality of service
- Cdifferentiated services
- Dintegrated services

Explanation
Integrated Services (IntServ) uses RSVP (Resource Reservation Protocol) to reserve bandwidth and resources along an end-to-end path BEFORE a flow begins transmitting. This admission control mechanism guarantees resources to compliant flows and polices (drops or remarks) traffic that exceeds its reservation. This exactly matches both requirements: guarantee before sending and police non-conforming traffic. Differentiated Services (DiffServ) marks and queues traffic but does not perform per-flow reservation prior to transmission. Auto QoS is a configuration tool, and Modular QoS (MQC) is a Cisco configuration framework, not an architecture model.
