routers.
B. CE routers form neighbor relations with PE routers.
C. CE routers receive their routing updates with route redistribution
from PE routers(Provider edge).
D. CE routers receive their routing updates with route redistribution from
other CE routers.

Explanation
CE routers do not form adjacencies or neighbors (depending on protocol) with
other CE routers. They depend on PE routers and route redistribution of routing
protocols to receive their routing updates and tables.

consideration for the customer?

Explanation
Although all of these can be considerations for the customer, the largest impact can
be the access link technology used between the PE and CE routers. If the customer
uses Frame Relay, the QOS can be unusable because of discarded frames due to
congestion.
