CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 17

A systems administrator would like to reduce the network delay between two servers. Which of the following will reduce the network delay without taxing other system resources?

Answer options

• A. Decrease the MTU size on both servers.
• B. Adjust the CPU resources on both servers.
• C. Enable compression between the servers.
• D. Configure a VPN tunnel between the servers.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Reducing the MTU size can lead to smaller packets being transmitted, which may help in decreasing delays due to fragmentation issues. Adjusting CPU resources does not directly affect network latency, while enabling compression can introduce additional processing time and configuring a VPN tunnel often adds overhead that can increase delay.
