CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 317

The IT manager at a small firm is in the process of renegotiating an SLA with the organization's ISP. As part of the agreement, the organization will agree to a dynamic bandwidth plan to provide 150Mbps of bandwidth. However, if the ISP determines that a host on the organization's internal network produces malicious traffic, the ISP reserves the right to reduce available bandwidth to 1.5 Mbps. Which of the following policies is being agreed to in the SLA?

Answer options

• A. Session hijacking
• B. Blocking
• C. Throttling
• D. Data usage limits
• E. Bandwidth quotas

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Throttling, as it refers to intentionally reducing bandwidth based on certain conditions, such as detecting malicious traffic. The other options do not accurately describe the scenario; for example, Session hijacking involves taking control of a session, Blocking refers to preventing access, and Data usage limits and Bandwidth quotas relate to restrictions based on data consumption rather than conditional bandwidth adjustments.
