CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 433

Which of the following can be used to decrease latency during periods of high utilization of a firewall?

Answer options

• A. Hot site
• B. NIC teaming
• C. HA pair
• D. VRRP

Correct answer: B

Explanation

NIC teaming allows multiple network interfaces to work together as a single interface, providing load balancing and redundancy, which can significantly reduce latency during peak usage. The other options, such as Hot site, HA pair, and VRRP, focus on disaster recovery and redundancy but do not directly address latency reduction under heavy load conditions.
