Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 494

What is the impact on an application from having a large distance between a client device and a host server?

Answer options

• A. latency
• B. increased bandwidth
• C. loss of connectivity
• D. jitter

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is latency, as greater distances can cause delays in data transmission, affecting application responsiveness. Increased bandwidth is not directly related to distance, loss of connectivity refers to complete disconnection, and jitter pertains to the variability in packet arrival times rather than the distance itself.
