CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 95

An administrator has been informed that some requests are taking a longer time to respond than other requests of the same type. The cloud consumer is using multiple network service providers and is performing link load balancing for bandwidth aggregation. Which of the following commands will help the administrator understand the possible latency issues?

Answer options

• A. ping
• B. ipconfig
• C. traceroute
• D. netstat

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct command, traceroute, is designed to trace the path that packets take to reach a destination, allowing the administrator to identify where delays are occurring in the network. Ping only tests connectivity and measures round-trip time, ipconfig displays network configuration details, and netstat shows active connections and listening ports, none of which directly diagnose latency issues.
