   A media streaming company offers a video-on-demand service. A small number of subscribers are using download managers that open many parallel connections to stream 4K content, consuming a disproportionate share of the company's transit bandwidth. The company wants to ensure fair usage among all subscribers without limiting how many videos a subscriber can request per hour. Which NGINX configuration should the administrator implement?

   • AEnable gzip compression for video responses.
   • BSet the worker_processes directive to 8.
   • CConfigure a bandwidth throttle of 5 MB/s per subscriber IP address.
   • DConfigure a rate limit of 10 requests per minute per subscriber.

   Why would an administrator configure both 'limit_req' and 'limit_rate' on the same location?

   • ATo limit the number of requests and the number of concurrent connections
   • BTo limit both the number of requests and the data transfer speed
   • CTo limit the number of concurrent connections and the request rate
   • DTo limit the request body size and the transfer speed

   A company provides a software-as-a-service product where users can export large data reports as CSV files. A few power users are exporting reports that are hundreds of megabytes in size, consuming significant bandwidth and slowing down the export feature for everyone. The company wants to ensure that all users can still export reports, but no single user can monopolize the bandwidth. Which NGINX configuration should be implemented?

   • ASet a bandwidth throttle of 1 MB/s per user IP address.
   • BSet the output_buffers directive to 128 KB.
   • CSet a rate limit of 10 exports per hour per user.
   • DSet the proxy_read_timeout to 60 seconds.
