CompTIA Cloud+ (CV1-003) — Question 38

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: C

Explanation

Enabling compression between the servers reduces the amount of data that needs to be transmitted over the network, thus minimizing delay. Decreasing the MTU size can lead to increased fragmentation and potential delays, adjusting CPU resources does not directly impact network latency, and configuring a VPN tunnel can introduce additional overhead and complexity, potentially increasing delay.
