Which switch characteristic helps alleviate network congestion when a 10 Gbps port is forwarding data to a 1 Gbps port?

Which switch characteristic helps alleviate network congestion when a 10 Gbps port is forwarding data to a 1 Gbps port?

• high port density
• fast port speed
• fast internal switching
• frame buffering

Explanation: The large frame buffers on a switch hold the ingress traffic until such time that the slower egress port can transmit the data. This reduces the number of dropped frames and alleviates network congestion.
